LNP CONTINUES TO WORK WITH AWATS

We are continuing our work with AWATS (African Women And Their Stories) in raising awareness and educating girls, women, boys and men about the importance of understanding and respecting their bodies, with particular focus on addressing the issue of Female Genital Mutilation (FGM).
During one of the community engagements a woman became visibly upset simply being in the room where FGM was being discussed, because she felt it was a taboo topic and, choosing to walk out, almost influencing other attendees  to disrupt the session but, thankfully, the team was able to handle the situation calmly and professionally, such that the session proceeded as planned.
