On May 10th, Sahiyo presented at the 12th Annual Massachusetts Children’s Alliance Conference. In attendance were over 200 multidisciplinary child abuse professionals from across the state. Sahiyo cofounder, Mariya Taher, partnered with Mildrine Tulysse, a Massachusetts Pediatric Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner, to provide information about the realities of female genital cutting (FGC) in the state of Massachusetts. The training they provided was done to increase education and awareness of FGC within the United States, provide resources to better understand how to give high-quality care to survivors; and empower frontline professionals to develop culturally competent and trauma-informed services and resources to survivors of FGC.
