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.)
