Rescue from FGM and Rescue Centres
At Shalom Friend's Home, we are deeply committed to protecting the rights and well-being of young girls at risk of Female Genital Mutilation (FGM). Our program is dedicated to providing safe havens for these girls, ensuring they receive the necessary assistance, support, and guidance. We work hand-in-hand with local communities to raise awareness about the dangers and consequences of FGM, striving to change cultural perceptions and foster understanding.
Our rescue centers are designed to offer a secure and nurturing environment where girls can heal and rebuild their lives. Here, they are treated with dignity and respect, surrounded by compassionate staff who are trained to provide emotional and psychological support. We believe that every girl deserves a chance to thrive in an environment free from violence and discrimination.
Education is at the heart of our mission. We empower young girls by providing access to educational resources, life skills training, and mentorship programs that foster personal growth and resilience. By equipping them with knowledge and skills, we help them envision a brighter future and advocate for their rights.
In addition to individual support, we actively engage with families and communities to promote dialogues around gender equality and the importance of protecting young girls from harmful practices. Our outreach initiatives focus on educating parents and community leaders about the negative impacts of FGM, fostering a culture of respect and empowerment for all women and girls.
Our holistic approach ensures that we address not only the immediate needs of those at risk but also the broader social and cultural factors that perpetuate these harmful practices. By working together, we can create a safe, supportive community that honors the rights of every girl and contributes to their well-being.
Join us in our mission to end FGM and create a future where every girl is valued, protected, and empowered to reach her full potential. Together, we can make a difference and foster a community that upholds the rights and dignity of all its members.
