Hello, Shielded Space Blog. It has
been a while since I have shared some Safeguarding thoughts and insights with
you. As you may have noticed, this is our second post this year and the first
one for February. Unfortunately, a bout of the flu kept me away, so a brief pause was necessary. However, I
sure am grateful to be back and excited to resume our discussions on
safeguarding and promoting a secure space for all, especially on this
significant occasion – the International Day for Zero Tolerance To Female
Genital Mutilation (FGM). This day is marked on the 6th of February
annually, so be sure to mark your calendars for the next one.
Today, on the International Day for
Zero Tolerance To FGM, our focus turns to a pervasive issue that demands our
attention. Female Genital Mutilation affects countless lives globally,
transcending boundaries and cultures.
