Our NETFA program is built around sustainable practice and wellbeing. We ensure that women who have undergone #FGM and #FGC are fully supported in addressing specific health needs and any emotional, psychological or social effects of their experience. https://t.co/WJ12WDp4mv
Powerful storytelling by @MaryamDeeqa. NETFA is currently supporting 12 women in Australia, from communities affected by FGM/C, to tell their stories. We will keep you posted! #EndFGM/C #EndFGC#endcuttinggirls
#VoicesToEndFGMC 2022 project with @storycenter@MaryamDeeqa shares how she saw that she could protect her daughter from the physical pain of FGM/C but not the verbal pain i.e “verbal cut” from others within her community.

To ensure that women who have experienced FGM/C are properly supported and that the practice is not being continued in communities once they migrate to Australia, it is essential that effective health promotion programs are in place. Find out more at https://t.co/flDb5xHo7Z
Our NETFA Leadership Program is underway. We are continuously inspired by our 12 participants. Supporting and empowering women is central to ending FGM/C. To learn more about our approach, read our best practice guidelines at https://t.co/jmlgEPMTSK #EndFGM#FGM#EndCuttingGirls
