Education & FGM
Last year, during discussions held as part of the Virtual International Stakeholder Dialogue (ISD) which had the primary objective of supporting the development of practical and promising gender transformative approaches to ending FGM through learning mutual, the identification of good practices. One of the recommendations that received strong support was:
Integrate gender-transformative education as part of comprehensive sexuality education (CSE) into school curricula, pay sufficient attention to the rights and bodily autonomy of girls and boys, harmful practices such as FGM, as well as emotional education and relationship education.
In this discussion we will be reflecting on:
-
Prevention of FGM at school.
-
The role of the school in the protection of girls.
-
The systematic integration of FGM modules into training curricula.
-
A global approach to gender transformative education.
