This October, we invite you to be part of Sahiyo’s fourth annual CelebrateHer: Comedy & Auction, a five-day virtual event that brings together laughter, community, and purpose. CelebrateHer is centered on the experiences of survivors impacted by FGC and gender-based violence while welcoming people of all gender identities who are affected by these forms of harm.

Your participation directly supports Sahiyo’s work to strengthen survivor-centered programs, amplify survivor voices, and build community-based support systems. Whether you attend, sponsor, or bid in the auction, you help sustain critical work that uplifts survivors and advances gender justice.

The celebration begins on October 11, when our online auction launches in honor of the International Day of the Girl Child. The auction will feature unique items and experiences, offering multiple opportunities to support Sahiyo’s mission throughout the week.

The event will culminate in an hour of live virtual comedy on Thursday, October 15, 2026 | 5–6:30 p.m. PT / 8–9:30 p.m. ET, bringing laughter and connection to the heart of this awareness month.

Get your tickets, donate an item for the auction or make a monetary donation here. You can also submit a video and/or creative piece responding to one of our prompts!
