Farzana Doctor: "It can be liberating to break the silence. I did this with validating friends and therapists who wanted to know my messy feelings and thoughts. They held spaceĀ for me while I processed my confusions, self-doubt and fears."

Modou Lamin Davies: "Growing up in my community, I learnt to catcall women. Sometimes, adult men would send me to tell off women who ignored their advances or refused to obey their instructions. I remember thinking how strange it was to learn that at such an age. However, transitioning from primary to junior school I learnt more about masculinity and expectations on young adolescents."
During the month of June the Community of Practice will discuss Intergenerational aspects of FGM!
The Community of Practice (www.copfgm.org) on FGM was first launched in February 2017. After 4 years of implementing the Community of Practice, GAMS Belgium wishes to evaluate the impact of the project and is therefore issuing the present call for consultancy.
In this webinar the speakers presented their projects and programmes aiming to involve men and boys in the work against FGM. We addressed the main opportunities and challenges of male involvement as a strategy to bring about the gender transformative change that is so urgently needed.
The CoP on FGM and its members participated in the NGOCWS65 Forum which took place in parallel with the 65th Commission on the Status of Women, between March 14th and March 26th 2021. This year, because of the sanitary crisis, the CSW and the NGOCSW Forum took place in a hybrid form with virtual meetings.
