The objectives of this session are:

  1. Explore what we mean by ‘girl-centered programming’ and how it works, and why this is a key approach to end FGM/C. Present evidence of what works within this approach;
  2. Share practical examples and lessons on why and how special attention is given to protect and support survivors and front-line activists in our efforts to put them at the center of our programmes and movements to end FGM/C.
