Our Head of Centre has been out speaking in #brussels #madrid & #fuertaventura on the impacts of #FGM & why #education of #girls , boys, #families and #professionals is key - allowing you to transform #gender roles and create an environment of co-existence 🙌
Did you know that the majority of men have no idea as to what #FGM /C entails?
