Story
The Vavengers is a UK-based FGM/C (Female Genital Mutilation/Cutting) awareness & action charity led by FGM/C survivors and activists. Through the guidance of survivors, they have grown to understand that Female Genital Mutilation isn’t just a singular event; it is part of a greater cycle of oppression with devastating, life-long physical and psychological consequences. Ending FGM/C and supporting those affected requires the energy of women and men of all communities. The Vavengers exist to bring these communities together, transforming singular experiences into shared action.
Their work takes 3 forms:
1
Community outreach hubs in the UK that support vulnerable woman’s physical, psychological, and legal needs with a focus on FGM/C and VAWG
2
Educational workshops about FGM/C and VAWG with businesses and organisations, including healthcare professionals
3
National and international campaigns to ensure FGM/C and VAWG is on the political and social agenda
With the continued direction of survivors, and working directly with those on the front line, they ensure that all projects created and funding received are directed to where it is needed most, and they’ll continue to do so until Female Genital Mutilation is eradicated.
Please help us in supporting this vital work by this incredible small charity.
We’ll see you at the finish line!
