Simulizi ya Kweli ya Ghati na Rhobi ni filamu ya uhuishaji ya dakika tano inayolenga kuongeza uelewa juu ya ukeketaji. Inaeleza simulizi ya kuvutia ya wasichana wawili (Ghati na Rhobi) ambao walikaataa ukeketaji kwenye jamii yao. Wasichana hawa walionyesha ujasiri kwa kusema hapana kwa ukeketaji, kitendo ambacho walisikia kina maumivu makali ambapo wasichana kadhaa hufariki kutokana nacho. Kwa msaada wa wazee katika jamii yao, walibadilisha mitazamo juu ya kipindi cha mpito cha msichana kutoka usichana kwenda utu uzima yaani kuwa mwanamke kwa kutokomeza ukeketaji.
'The True Story of Ghati and Rhobi' is a five minute animated film aimed at raising awareness of female genital mutilation (FGM). It tells the inspirational story of two girls (Ghati and Rhobi) resisting their community’s practice of FGM. They show courage by saying no to a practice that they heard would be painful and that some girls die from. With the help of community elders, they change the way their community treats a girl’s transition into womanhood by ending the practice.
'My Body My Rules' is a three minute animated film aimed at raising awareness of female genital mutilation (FGM) amongst primary school aged children in the UK. Developed by FORWARD and Animage Films.
