On February 13th, the World Bank invited Sahiyo to host a screening of the Voices to End FGM/C Digital Storytelling Project in honor of International Day of Zero Tolerance for Female Genital Mutilation/Cutting. During the virtual event, attendees from around the world watched nine videos from Voices to End FGM/C collection including videos from U.S. Executive Director Mariya Taher, and alumni Severina Lemachokoti and Renee Bergstrom. Afterward, all three discussed the healing nature of sharing one’s story, the challenges that come from speaking up, and the overall advocacy that is done to end FGM/C.
