This gathering will convene advocates, donors, legal professionals, movement leaders, and partners committed to advancing racial justice within anti-FGM/C work.
During the evening, Sahiyo will share its Race x FGM/C Position Paper, developed following a December 2025 global survivor-expert convening led in partnership with Dr. Leyla Siirad Hussein Gikand. Building on Sahiyo’s Critical Intersections research project, the paper examines how racism, anti-Blackness, and power inequities shape the global movement to end FGM/C. It offers a practical framework for advocates and funders to strengthen survivor-led, grassroots work and advance more equitable decision-making and resource distribution.
The presentation will be followed by a reception with light refreshments and an opportunity to connect with colleagues and partners. For security purposes, the exact address will not be publicly listed. The location will be shared in your confirmation email upon registration.
