As Head of Mental Health and Wellbeing and FGM (Female Genital Mutilation) coordinator, empowerment means giving women and girls the tools to reject harmful practices, make informed choices about their bodies, access support services, and challenge cultural norms. It involves creating safe spaces for survivors, advocating for policy change, and promoting gender equality and bodily autonomy. Empowerment is about empowering individuals to take control of their lives and futures, free from the threat of violence and discrimination, and fostering resilience and healing within affected communities.
