Empowering Girls to Say “No” to Female Ge***al Mutilation: .
Pathways To Peace and WAR AGAINST POVERTY in Guinea opened a Shelter for Girls who are brave and said “no” to Female Ge***al Mutilation (FGM) and are homeless as a result. Guinea has the second highest rate of FGM in the world, with 97% of young girls experiencing this tortuous practice. The Avon Mattison Girls Shelter provides loving care, safety, emotional support, and opportunities for the girls to pursue a brighter future for themselves through education and job training. Through comprehensive community education, garnering the support of local dignitaries and authorities, and providing shelter, we expect to end FGM in Kindia, Guinea in one generation. Please Join us for this participatory event!
Speakers: Tezikiah Gabriel and David Wick
