We were honoured to welcome Isatu Momoh, a published author, educator, advocate and survivor of FGM and childhood sexual abuse, as our guest speaker for an FGM awareness talk.

Through sharing her personal experiences and advocacy work, Isatu delivered a deeply moving and thought-provoking talk that highlighted the lifelong physical, psychological and social impacts of FGM while demonstrating the resilience of survivors.

The event provided attendees with the opportunity to learn about FGM from both a medical and human perspective, exploring its global prevalence, health consequences, safeguarding responsibilities and the importance of adopting a survivor-centred approach in healthcare and beyond.

Following the talk, attendees engaged in meaningful discussion and reflection, reinforcing the importance of education in challenging harmful practices, supporting survivors and advocating for change. By hosting events such as this, Scrub the Stigma remains committed to creating safe spaces for difficult but essential conversations.
