For the International Day of Zero Tolerance for FGM we will be celebrating our community engagement programme and bringing together the work of key agencies, communities and individuals.

FORWARD is hosting a free Professionals Training on responding to violence against migrant women in Bristol on the 26th of February 2020.

Today we launch the ACCESS awareness campaign. The objective of this project is to improve access to prevention, protection and support for migrant women confronted with various forms of violence.

The event is tailored for statutory professionals, Local Government Authorities, voluntary organisations, young women, community representatives, and organisations working on FGM from the UK and Europe.

This conference provides an opportunity to network with professionals and activists from the UK and across Europe who are working to protect women and girls rights, to learn from their approaches, come up with new strategies and develop a new sisterhood of solidarity.
