The newly established FGM/C Policy Advocate Care Fund provides vital resources and support to those tirelessly working to prevent FGM/C and support survivors. Created through a partnership between Sahiyo U.S. and the U.S. End FGM/C Network, this fund aims to:
- Empower survivors and individuals from communities impacted by FGM/C
- Enable survivors, activists, and advocates to actively engage in education and policy advocacy
- Ensure that activists are fairly compensated for their contributions, recognizing that they are often overlooked and underfunded.
Advocates working to end FGM/C face numerous challenges including resistance from communities, lack of resources, and risks to their health and mental well being. Finding ways to support these advocates can help ensure individuals can continue their vital work to end FGM/C, effectively and safely.
The goal of the fund is to empower activists, advocates, and survivors to create meaningful change in their communities and end this harmful practice.
Your donation is essential in sustaining the critical work of advocates dedicated to ending FGM/C. By donating to The FGM/C Policy Advocate Care Fund, you’re directly empowering advocates, ensuring they have the financial, technical, and emotional support necessary to continue their impactful work. Your contribution strengthens their capacity, safeguards their well-being, and creates lasting change in the world.
