Female Genital Mutilation, FGM must be funded urgently to save girls from a lifetime of suffering and even death.

At Freedom Charity, we have been working to educate potential victims. Teachers play an enormous role in spotting the signs of FGM. For teachers and support to be shown what to look out for is essential as part of the tools needed to protect up to 5000 girls a year who may suffer from this barbaric practice.

The Guardian newspaper reported on the 84% reduction in funding for FGM

At Freedom Charity we have the book cut flowers this comes along with PHSE Association accredited lesson plans we also use the Freedom Charity app . This which links straight into the police if anyone is suffering FGM. Professionals the signs and friends on what to spot and look out for.

Freedom Charity has had numerous enquiries from hundreds of schools looking for us to teach FGM. Schools need to be able to use our lesson plans and have schools visits (even if there is virtual). The books they need with the PHSE lesson plans are Cut Flowers and But it’s not Fair.

The schools do not have the funding to pay for this themselves and if we seriously want to eradicate

FGM can be ended in a generation. If we want this Freedom needs funding. Freedom Charity to date has seen over 50,000 young people. The school work to educate them on the dangers of forced marriage and in recent years FGM has saved lives. Professionals feel more comfortable talking about the issues and addressing potential victims. Once staff have the training and confidence to deal with this is not a cultural issue this is child abuse and must be eradicated it is only through education.

I believe we can make a difference and save lives and Boys and play a part. Freedom Charity set up the ‘not in my name’ campaign. This is where young boys around the country ‘stand up’ to show that they wish to protect their sister’s female cousins and be the generation to see this practice eradicated forever.
