Within Malawi structures, women often don’t share equal rights and opportunities.
There are usually gender specific roles.
In celebrating Malawi’s independence, SheRose aims to continue spreading light on such differences.

We wanted to continue sharing more about Malawi, and so we have compiled some short facts about Malawian culture, the population and religion. 🇲🇼

Happy Independence Day Malawi 🇲🇼! Independence is all about freedom, and practices like child marriage are hindering Malawi’s freedom. We must fight for the freedom of Malawi’s girls, and put an end to child marriages.

On day 4 of #FGM awareness week at SheRose, we’re going to be sharing information on FGM in Malawi. FGM is largely carried out in secret, which makes it difficult for statistics to be obtained, which in turn makes it difficult to create policy’s and strategies to end the practice
On day 3 of #FGM awareness week at SheRose, we’re going to be telling you about where you can seek support if you are in fear of being subject to (or have already been subject to) FGM. You can visit the NHS website for information on clinics near you.

The effects of FGM on education are largely overlooked. FGM can be costly, which means after the procedure many parents are unable to afford to send their daughters to school. The further effects of this are that being out of education can lead to an increase in child marriages.
On day 2 of #FGM awareness week at SheRose, we’re going to be highlighting some of the effects of the practice. Be sure to head over to our Instagram and our website for more information!
FGM can negatively impact both the mental and physical health of the girls subject to it. It can cause depression and PTSD. It can also cause infections, problems urinating and many other health issues.
