About the Course
The FGM Prevention, Protection and Community Engagement Training Course equips participants with knowledge and practical skills to understand, prevent, and respond appropriately to Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) and its associated risks. The course examines FGM as a harmful practice and explores its physical, psychological, social, human rights, and developmental implications.Through case studies, group discussions, scenario-based exercises, and practical activities, participants will develop strategies for conducting effective awareness initiatives, engaging community stakeholders, identifying individuals at risk, strengthening referral pathways, and supporting prevention efforts while respecting dignity, confidentiality, and human rights.
The course ultimately aims to strengthen participants' ability to contribute to FGM prevention, safeguarding, community mobilization, gender equality, child protection, and sustainable social and behavioural change.
