The Global Media Campaign to end FGM Information

FGM ends when local level activists, influencers, medics, religious leaders and journalists take to the airwaves calling for the practice to stop. The GMC backroom team below supports grassroots activists with media training, both in-country and online, with our specially developed media masterclasses. We train activists to run powerful anti-FGM campaigns where powerful influencers such as religious leaders and doctors speak out on the media, condemning the practice. We also give small grants every two months to allow these activists to run their own campaigns, buying the airtime needed to get the influencers on air.
