Switched is a film and workshop aimed at ending female genital mutilation (FGM) by involving all young people, regardless of their identity
What we did
Recognising that prevention is everyone’s responsibility, Integrate’s young people developed a short drama that challenges assumptions around affected identities and calls for understanding and action.
Young people were involved in every part of the process, from story development and acting to developing and leading workshops. The workshops promote open discussion and reflection, challenge stigma and give young people the knowledge and confidence to recognise risk and seek help.
Above all the resource makes it clear why men and boys must play an active role in ending FGM.
