Sahiyo holds first Voices to End FGM/C Healing Circle

On March 13th, Sahiyo held our first Voices to End FGM/C Healing Circle in partnership with StoryCenter and Asian Women’s Shelter. As the Voices to End FGM/C project has grown over the past 5 years with over 60 participants, storytellers have asked to be able to connect in other ways. After receiving feedback via a survey on what additional support structures would be helpful for our program participants, we initiated the Voices to End FGM/C Healing Circles. These Healing Circles continue to provide a safe space for our past project participants to hold conversations with one another on FGM/C; to reflect on their journey in sharing their story; and continue to  strengthen their support systems in place by building community with Voices participants from other cohorts.
