“All our girls must be circumcised”“I’m scared. I don’t want to go to another doctor and have to open my legs again”“See? I told you the girl would turn out horny!” Female gential mutilation (FGM) is a serious violation that is often not spoken of, even though it has a lifelong physical and psychological impact on those who have been subjected to it. BuSSy is launching a campaign titled “A Part of Me,” which will revolve around the theme of FGM. The campaign will run during the months of November and October, as part of the 16 Days of Activism against Gender-based Violence. We invite you to share your story with us and tell us how FGM has affected your relationship with your body, your sex life, your reproductive health, your mental health, etc.

BuSSy team travelled to AlEin AlSokhna for a one-day-trip, in October 2019. The trip was a part of BuSSy’s activities to support individual and collective care among the group.
