The exhibition "WENDEMI´S DIGNITY - The role of Safeguarding Girls in Combating Poverty" provides information on human rights for women and children by using our work in Burkina Faso as an example. We show the importance of local initiatives in protecting young girls from forced marriages and genital mutilation through education, healthcare and income opportunities.
In developing countries, genital mutilation is a particularly dramatic example of the continuous human rights violations against women and girls. The systematic discrimination causes great suffering.
We are committed to supporting women and children’s rights in developing countries. Our work focuses on education for young girls, stopping genital mutilation and early marriages, empowering women, and improving reproductive health.
