About Challenging Silence

From the publisher's feed

Challenging Silence is brought to you by Flourish, a community-based collaborative project at WHIWH. Throughout this show, we will have conversations with female genital mutilation/cutting survivors (FGM/C), advocates and community members about lived experiences and resilience, the impact on physical and mental health, and the fear of speaking up due to stigma and discrimination. We hope to educate Canadians about this under-recognized form of gender-based violence (GBV) and raise awareness for more support for its survivors.
