On Wednesday, March 27th at 10 AM PT/1 PM ET, Sahiyo will host a screening of the newest Voices to End FGM/C videos, which were developed through Sahiyo, Asian Women’s Shelter, and SilenceSpeaks, with survivors of and advocates against female genital mutilation/cutting (FGM/C). In addition to viewing these nine poignant stories, attendees will get the chance to hear from some of the storytellers themselves about their work and journey.
“I hope that my story will be a clarion call for folks to help me bring to light the need for medical care for hundreds of thousands of women who need help locally, nationally, and globally.”
- Doris Mukangu, Voices ‘23 Workshop Participant
The Voices to End FGM/C Program is a digital storytelling project created by SilenceSpeaks and Sahiyo that aims to mobilize a critical mass of survivors and activists from across the globe. Voices to END FGM/C brings people together to share and heal from their experiences of FGM/C, to connect and grow as leaders in their own communities, and to create short videos calling for an end to this harmful practice.
With the support of the Wallace Global Fund and the Office for Victims of Crime, U.S. Department of Justice, Sahiyo is currently designing a guide to equip you with the necessary tools to host meaningful educational screenings using videos from the Voices program. In the guide there are discussion prompts, FGM/C FAQ sheets, and event planning tools aimed at fostering deep engagement and inspiring action.
