Grassroots and survivor-led organizations are doing critical work to end FGM/C but funding remains limited and difficult to access.

Join us on June 8th at 1 PM for “Mapping the FGM/C Funding Landscape: Gaps, Trends, and Opportunities” along with Wallace Global Fund.

We’ll discuss:
• Current funding trends and gaps
• What funders are prioritizing
• Opportunities for organizations at every level
• Tips for building strong, competitive proposals

If you’re working to end FGM/C, this conversation is for you. Register: https://secure.ngpvan.com/QnsqfqXDJkOijJ5QINxl6g2

We had the honor of joining survivors, advocates and Trans, Gender Non-conforming and Inters*x (TGNI) community members at a retreat in the Adirondacks for a few days of connection, healing and reflection.

We held space to examine the harmful narratives affecting FGM/C survivors and TGNI communities, creating room for shared learning, storytelling and support.

We are grateful for every person who brought their story, their heart and their presence into that space.
