In this insightful discussion, we analyze the impact of media portrayals on how society views and responds to FGM/C, recognizing the responsibility media holds in disseminating accurate and informed information. The Challenging Silence hosts are joined by Giselle Portenier co-founder and board co-chair of the End FGM Canada network. By examining how FGM/C is depicted, we aim to shed light on the potential biases and consequences that may influence public attitudes and policy decisions.
