This year, we were aiming to  educating men and dispelling the misconception that female genital mutilation is a requirement of the Islamic faith.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph translation-block\">Mali is a deeply religious country, and men do not have the same supportive communities as women, making it more difficult to reach them. The only solution is to work through our local partner, the Sini Sanuman organization, and reach out to enlightened religious leaders. To this end, we are organizing a religious symposium in Mali, focusing on reaching out to male communities with the help of enlightened leaders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What is FGM?&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Female genital mutilation involves the partial or total removal of the female genitalia. FGM is an extremely dangerous procedure that can cause severe pain, excessive bleeding, fever, infections, problems with urination and wound healing, shock, death, and later complications such as cysts and complications during childbirth. It also causes serious emotional trauma, associated with the painful procedure or later complications, and painful sexual life. Our awareness campaign is based on exposing the health consequences and interrelations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What can we do?&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Close to Africa Foundation is committed to reducing violence against women, child marriage, and mutilation in the Sansfil slum. We are conducting our campaign through a local organization because we do not want to approach the Sansfil community with the superiority of white civilization. Mali is changing, many people already oppose and even feel ashamed of this and the state has enacted laws requiring awareness campaigns against FGM. (Even though it does not manifest in the reaity)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Who is our local partner?&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sini Sanuman, or \"Healthy Tomorrow\" an organization that has been successful in Mali since 2002 in reducing FGM and violence against women. The organization works with a program based on 20 years of detailed experience to reduce FGM. Their method is to focus on one community at a time, working otgether with all levels of society, from political leaders to local women who perform FGM (excisors), managing awareness-raising work through meetings, personal conversations, workshops, radio, and billboard advertisements.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Mit \u00e9rt\u00fcnk el a Sansfil nyomornegyedben?&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Sini Sanuman has also launched a new project (SWEDD; Sahel Women's Empowerment and Demographic Dividend) where they work on preventing FGM through media and personal meetings and provide medical assistance to 100 women who have suffered the most severe health consequences of FGM.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>One of the two women who performed FGM in the slum has already given up this practice, which is \"putting down the knife.\" The other woman is also showing signs of desire to quit, but the community is reluctant to allow her to do so.\"<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Nine out of the ten assistant excisors in the neighborhood have taken a vow not to participate in excision anymore.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sini Sanuman \u00faj projektet is ind\u00edtott (SWEDD; Sahel Womens empow., Demographic dividend.)
