International Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) Conference Mojatu Foundation has been raising awareness, sensitising communities and empowering survivors to be the driving force for tackling FGM by giving them a voice and engaging them in discussions, decision making and events aimed at tackling FGM. Mojatu Foundation in collaboration with Nottingham Trent University and other local, national and international organisations tackling FGM invite you to our “International Conference: Ending Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) Together,” to be held: Date:
3rd September 2015 from 9am-4.30pm
Venue:
Nottingham Conference Centre, Burton Street, Nottingham, NG1 4BU
All delegates MUST have tickets The key people involved in the planning of this conference are FGM survivors themselves supported by the Community FGM Steering Group initiated by Mojatu Foundation to support the efforts to safeguard and protect children at risk and also support survivors living with the consequences of FGM. The Conference deliberations will be on the following themes and how they impact on ending FGM. These are Gender equality and women’s empowerment, Training and Education, Religion, Media, Law and Language, arts and culture. This conference will bring together local, national and international speakers and delegates comprising of FGM survivors, FGM campaigners, members of the practicing communities, religious leaders, local authorities, health and education specialist, women’s organisations, the police, journalists, and other multidisciplinary professionals. It will bring to life the realities of FGM by facilitating personal accounts of survivors living with consequences of FGM and their journeys to protect and safeguard those at risk and support other survivors. It is also a fantastic learning and networking opportunity. The conference is a follow-up of the national FGM conference that took place in February 2015 and will explore the work being done in tackling FGM. It will also explore good practices from other organisations tackling FGM within the UK and beyond. During the conference, the Mojatu FGM Logo, now adopted as a symbol of local coordinated work by
the City and County FGM Strategy Board including Safeguarding boards will be launched. It will also launch the local FGM referral pathway being developed. The upcoming FGM training programmes and curriculum to be launched by University of Nottingham later this year will also be unveiled.
