Zero Tolerance to FGM — Womens awareness session

On Thursday 12th February, Path of Joy joined forces with FORWARD at Hanwell Community Centre for a vital awareness session. From 10:00am to 2:00pm, women from across our local community gathered for a “Zero Tolerance to FGM” workshop. It was a day defined by courage and unity, providing a safe environment to learn about and discuss this sensitive topic with care and respect.

💬 Empowerment Through Education

The session focused on breaking the silence and providing clear, practical guidance for those seeking help or information. By sharing knowledge and signposting to specialist support services, we aim to ensure that every woman in our community feels protected and informed. Raising awareness is a powerful step toward positive change and collective safety.

🌿 A Supportive Community Space

Creating a sanctuary for open discussion allowed participants to share their experiences and support one another in a confidential setting. This collaboration highlights our commitment to inclusion and wellbeing, fostering a network of care where women feel heard and empowered. Together, we are building a more resilient community grounded in understanding and mutual respect.
