0 Tolerance day towards Female Genital Mutilation
In acknowledgement of 0 Tolerance day towards FGM, one of our amazing service users has shared their experience with the harmful cultural practice. FGM stands for Female Genitalia Mutilation, and is to this day practiced around the world on young women and girls. It carries short and long term consequences that significantly affect physiological and psychological well-being. AAF aims to help eradicate this practice and offer support and resources to those that have been affected. AAF is open to referrals via email Vawg@africadvocacy.org. If you have been affected by this video, or know someone who has, please do not hesitate to reach out via dms or email for support or answers to your questions. Together we stand to keep our sisters, mothers, aunts, daughters, nieces and friends safe.
