Channel: Global Media Campaign To End FGM
Date: 2021-10-22

Despite being in positions of influence, and having massive media coverage, most politicians prefer not to talk about FGM. This session sought to break down the reasons why politicians don’t speak about FGM, 
how to begin discussions on the topic with local/regional/national elected officials, and how to rally more politicians to EndFGM media campaigns. The session also kickstarts a #PoliticiansToEndFGM campaign in the media.
