The focus of the Joining Hands Project is to create systems of support for girls in Canada at risk of FGM/C and survivors. Professionals will be trained to spot and protect girls at risk and to give trauma-informed, culturally sensitive care to survivors. In a collaboration between survivors and subject matter experts in the fields of medicine, mental health, education, social work and law enforcement, this project has created distinct trauma-informed, online, interactive training modules for professionals working within FGM/C-impacted communities across Canada.
We identified teachers working with children in grades K-12, medical professionals, mental health professionals, social workers, law enforcement professionals and those working with newcomers as those at the front lines of working with FGM/C survivors and identifying girls at risk. We have created a distinct FGM/C training for each of these groups.

“This is a great intro to FGC, it’s so beautifully done. As an academic I look at citations and this was very well cited.”
