With the help of AMSOPT a small organisation in Mali, Kadi has begun educating school age children about the dangers to young girls of genital mutilation. This is the first chat debate on FGM, HIV/AIDS, sexual transmitted illnesses and was with the students from grade 7 to the high school of the ‘Ecole Privee Youchaou’. Both boys and girls participated. Our aim is to teach girls they can stand up for the rights of their own bodies. We recognise the importance of education in stamping out this horrific practice. Our focus remains on the parents, and we also need to educate the girls and their potential husbands.
“The chat debate was really a success because students welcomed it and fully participated in it”.
