Mr Adebisi Ademola one of the facilitators shared his ordeal in the cause of advocacy against FGM. He explained how traumatised some survivors were as a result of mutilation.
The women were all advised to ensure that they report the perpetrator to the nearest police station or Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) as that is the only way to end the deadly practice in society.
Meanwhile the project Coordinator Mr, Ayobami Alabi noted that FGM is an injustice to women and it must stop. Survivors at the event were given the opportunity to share their experiences and how they think the organisation can come to their aid.
