A Morning for Exchange, Stance, and Impact

FGM/C is a severe human rights violation and a topic that requires knowledge, empathy, and reliable organization. This is exactly where the meeting comes in: with networking, information, and a space for concrete collaboration. The atmosphere is expected to be characterized by focus, openness, and the desire to strengthen prevention not just through discussion, but in practice. The event fits into the intersection of awareness-raising, community work, and event planning with social relevance.
