@AnnaWidegren

"Access to information for Survivors of FGM in Europe, especially if they are asylum seekers, is critical."

"There's a lack of services particularly targeting Children and Youth, and this is a problem as most (not all) cases of FGM happen before the age of 15."
@AnnaWidegren

"Community members have a key role in advocating against the practice as well as in ensuring access to information. Our Youth Ambassadors are a great example of this, they created the #PurpleChair YouTube series specifically to raise awareness and empower others to speak up."

This year, for the #16DaysOfActivism, we are sharing about different (& original) ways to do activism against #GBV every day!

Today, let's talk about a traditional way for women to fight for their rights and ideals, but with a spin! 👇 #orangetheworld

Lysistrata, an anti-war comedy by the Greek playwright Aristophanes, talks about a sex strike 💪

The women in the play, led by Lysistrata, want the Peloponnesian War to end, so they stop having sex with their husbands as a strategy to secure the peace.

And nowadays?

Let's talk about three different sex strikes!

1⃣ Huelga de piernas cruzadas ("The strike of crossed legs"), Pereira (Colombia), September 2006 ▶️ A strike to curb gang violence.

This month, for our Annual Campaign #endFGMmyths, we are answering the question “Are some forms of FGM less harmful than others?”

Today, let’s talk about one of the most discussed consequences of FGM: does FGM affects sexual pleasure? And do all types of FGM affects it?

The answer is not as obvious as people expect.

Every Survivor's experience is different. Even if some Survivors experience sexual difficulties, some others are happy with their sex life.

Sexual problems can affect anyone, whether they have undergone FGM or not.

Survivors that experience sexual problems after undergoing FGM can overcome them if they have access to:

👉 Psychological support
👉 Medical support
👉 Sexological support

This month, for our Annual Campaign #endFGMmyths, we are answering the question "Are some forms of FGM less harmful than others?" 🤔

Today, we want to talk about medicalised FGM and why it's not less harmful than other forms of FGM!

❓ What is medicalised FGM?
▶️ It's when FGM is carried out in a hospital environment.

❓ Why does it happen? 👇

❓ Why shouldn't be accepted?

👉It doesn't necessarily lead to a lesser impact on Survivors' life.
👉Replacing one form of FGM with another won't necessarily lead to it being abandoned.
👉It can make raising awareness on FGM more difficult, as health professionals support it.
