Campaign

Ending FGM and harmful practices

Challenging FGM was our founding campaign. Youth activism helped drive national safeguarding reform and statutory education.

Our young people’s film ‘Switched’ imagines a parallel universe where FGM is carried out on boys instead of girls, using this reversal to challenge assumptions and male allyship in ending the practice.

The resource highlights the role of men and boys in ending FGM and makes it clear that challenging abuse is everyone’s responsibility.

Our work includes:

• Education on FGM, Honour-based abuse & forced marriage
• Safeguarding
• Films, resources and campaigns
• Training for frontline professionals
• Events, public speaking and collaborative working
