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.

SUMMARY:International Digital Storytelling Conference 2023
DESCRIPTION:Voices to End FGM/C: Using Personal Storytelling for Women’s Rights Advocacy \nFor centuries\, individuals around the world have been reluctant to talk openly about the women’s rights violation of female genital mutilation/cutting (FGM/C)\, for fear of being ostracized by their communities\, labeled as victims\, or jeopardizing their relationships with loved ones implicated in the practice. Since 2018\, Voices to End FGM/C\, a collaboration of Sahiyo and StoryCenter’s Silence Speaks initiative on human rights\, has used a trauma-informed approach to engage survivors and activists in the U.S. and around the world in telling their personal stories of FGM/C. Voices supports storytellers in healing\, connecting in solidarity\, and growing as leaders in the movement calling for an end to FGM/C. In a panel moderated by Voices co-founder Mariya Taher at the International Digital Storytelling Conference 2023\, the following individuals will highlight the value of our work within health\, criminal justice\, and community support contexts: \nKaren McDonnell\, faculty\, George Washington University. Karen coordinated a Voices workshop focused on the health impacts of FGM/C and is an expert on training health providers on the issue. \nAngela Peabody\, Executive Director\, Global Women Peace Foundation. Angela\, born and raised in Liberia\, is a Voices alumna who has for years been listening to women share their stories of FGM/C. \nSunshine Bayor\, Voices workshop participant. Bayor\, born and raised in Chad\, attended the health-focused Voices workshop and will share her experience of telling her story of FGM/C. (Additional panelists to be determined based on whether or not they can travel to the conference.)

The Voices to End FGM/C project supports storytellers in sharing and healing from experiences of FGM/C\, connecting and growing as leaders in their own communities\, and creating short videos calling for an end to this harmful practice. \nAmy Hill (StoryCenter)\, Mariya Taher (Sahiyo)\, and Orchid Pusey (AWS) will moderator this event.

SUMMARY:Voices to End FGM/C 2022: Spring Cohort Digital Story Screening
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a screening of the Spring 2022 Voices to End FGM/C Videos from Sahiyo and Storycenter! \n\n\nAbout this event\n\n\n\nOn Wednesday\, August 24th\, at 3 pm ET we’ll be hosting a screening of the newest Voices to End FGM/C videos\, developed out of Sahiyo and StoryCenter’s Spring 2022 digital storytelling workshop with survivors and/or advocates of female genital mutilation/cutting (FGM/C). Along with a viewing of these poignant stories\, some of which have yet to be released to the public\, attendees will get the chance to hear from some of the storytellers themselves about their work and their journey. \nVoices to End FGM/C (Female Genital Mutilation/Cutting)\, a digital storytelling project created by StoryCenter and Sahiyo\, aims to mobilize a critical mass of storytellers and activists from across the globe. Voices brings people together to share and heal from their experiences of female genital mutilation/cutting (FGM/C)\, connect and grow as leaders in their own communities\, and create short videos calling for an end to this harmful practice.
