Description
The Center of Arab Women for
Training and Research "CAWTAR" and the International Planned
Parenthood Federation – Arab World Region will hold a regional Training of
Trainers workshop in Tunisia from January 10 to 13, 2025, on the theme:
"Advocating for the Engagement of Men and Boys in Efforts to End Female
Genital Mutilation (FGM)." The training targets male trainers from Iraq,
Egypt, Sudan, Yemen, Somalia, and Mauritania.
The aim of the workshop is to
equip participants with the necessary skills and tools to become leaders in
their communities in the fight against FGM. The training will focus on
empowering men and boys to be active partners in advocacy and awareness-raising
efforts, as well as on developing strategies to challenge stereotypical ideas
surrounding the practice. The sessions will include practical workshops on how
to engage different segments of society in campaigns and build local support
networks to amplify the positive role of men and boys in ending this harmful
practice.
This training is part of the
partnership program between CAWTAR and IPPF on "Enhancing the Engagement
of Boys and Men in Efforts to Combat Female Genital Mutilation."
