Aid projects with 'intangible' social objectives are often the first to be criticised by sceptics, but this is a BRILLIANT example of a #UKAid programme helping to change attitudes and norms, and the very tangible difference that has made to the lives of women & girls in DRC.
"Violence against women and girls one of the most widespread human rights violations in the world. But this evidence shows it can be stopped by challenging outdated attitudes about gender and violence.” - @PennyMordaunt

If you think that a child may be at risk of #FGM or if you suspect that it has already happened, you must seek help and advice.
Call the helpline on 0800 028 3550 or email [email protected].
If you think a child is at immediate risk call the police on 999. #EndFGM
Guiding the young to treat others with respect and equality.Teaching young people consent, that it is okay to say NO. Teaching young people the risks of FGM. Providing opportunities for young people to keep them out of gangs, instead, in safe environments to flourish. (3/3)
Incorporating lessons of aspiration, determination and courage; we attempt to shape the way young people act and believe, since, the impressions made when a child can last a lifetime, and we hope to reverse some of the deep rooted issues we are facing today. (2/3)
