Challenging Silence is brought to you by Flourish, a community-based collaborative project at WHIWH. Throughout this show, we will have conversations with female genital mutilation/cutting survivors (FGM/C), advocates and community members about lived experiences and resilience, the impact on physical and mental health, and the fear of speaking up due to stigma and discrimination. We hope to educate Canadians about this under-recognized form of gender-based violence (GBV) and raise awareness for more support for its survivors.

Media Representation of FGM/C
In this insightful discussion, we analyze the impact of media portrayals on how society views and responds to FGM/C, recognizing the responsibility media holds in disseminating accurate and informed information. The Challenging Silence hosts are joined by Giselle Portenier co-founder and board co-chair of the End FGM Canada network. By examining how FGM/C is depicted, we aim to shed light on the potential biases and consequences that may influence public attitudes and policy decisions.
