SUMMARY:Digital Storytelling's Role in Healing and Advocacy Against Female Genital Mutilation/ Cutting (FGM/C)
DESCRIPTION:Date: October 31 at 2:45 PM EST \nThis 90-minute panel will explore how participatory digital storytelling can foster survivor-centered healing\, build organizational capacity\, and drive systemic change in the context of female genital mutilation/cutting (FGM/C) and broader gender-based violence (GBV). Drawing from a three-year collaborative project between Sahiyo\, Asian Women’s Shelter (AWS)\, and Silence Speaks\, panelists will share insights on using culturally grounded\, trauma-informed methods to support FGM/C survivors and building the capacity of GBV organizations to provide trauma-informed support. \nPanelists will highlight how survivor-created media has been used as a tool for professional development\, cross-sector training\, and outreach across healthcare\, crisis response\, and community-based organizations. The session will feature multimedia digital stories from the Voices initiative and reflections from the project partners\, including some of the survivors and advocates who created a digital story. Emphasis will be placed on strategies for using digital storytelling to deepen community trust\, bridge the gap between FGM/C and mainstream GBV services\, and co-create sustainable systems of support. \nBy the end of the session\, attendees will: \n\nUnderstand the role of survivor-led storytelling in healing and public education.\nLearn how digital stories can be used as powerful training tools for culturally responsive\, trauma-informed care.
