The Washington Coalition to End Female Genital Mutilation/Cutting (FGM/C) partnered with Senator Tina Orwall to introduce legislation that aims to expand protections for sexual assault to include survivors of ALL acts of sexual violence, including FGM/C. https://t.co/HO2wT3SOfF

As we look back on 10 Years of policy advocacy, we remember our "Raising Awareness and Understanding of FGM/C in the U.S." training! Attendees learned about FGM/C, its connection to GBV, and strategies for prevention and survivor support.

One step forward.

The Inter-American Commission on Human Rights has addressed female genital cutting (FGC) in the Americas. Commissioners listened to testimonies - including from our executive director Mariya Taher - who called for urgent action to prevent this human rights violation.

Spoke super briefly about my workshop, right after getting this comment from a participant: "You have told us about many AI tools but I don't feel like using them much now."

Ah well! I'll take it as a compliment😉

"There's a beauty to writing and translation where the reader can vividly imagine and also feel and smell whatever is going on in the book. I can feel Mizuki being startled by the unfiltered comments of the stranger at the coffee shop. Even when she applies makeup on her face, I can see her dabbing on her face and walking with the weight of who she used to be."

This is where I read and write imperfectly, intentionally and with no intention to perform (perhaps).

@ProfSrilaRoy May his good memories live on within you. 🌸 sending my heartfelt condolences

@ProfSrilaRoy Webinars are still a thing. At least for me. I've learned so much through them.
