Ending FGM/C demands that we listen to the communities, we need to unlearn and adapt respectful approaches and strategies. Our vocabulary should change.Activists can lead communities to nurture a more sustainable solutions to end FGC. Listen to them and walk the talk @GMCEndFGM

[#MenEndFGM @TonyMwebia]

Don't waste time training an activist to be an accountant, communications, MEL, Lawyer etc etc. facilitate them and let them do what they love to do that is engage the communities #ShiftThePower #MenEndFGM #FrontlineEndingFGM

[Godfrey Demba Diawara @godfrey_demba]

Amazing point @TonyMwebia , ending FGC starts with trusting grassroots community organisations,involving everyone, focusing on holistic community well-being agenda which strengthens the relational aspects of people & awakens their capacity to aspire on an human rights foundation.

Thread!
Lack of 'Capacity' is a buzzword used to lock out many grassroots organizations out of funding. If you want to build their capacity this can be done in 2 weeks. #ShiftThePower #FrontlineEndingFGM #MenEndFGM #EndFGM #Globalgoals #SDGs
