WOMEN'S PROGRAMS

Female Genital Mutilation

Since 2016, Uzima has been involved with researching the effects of female genital mutilation/cutting in Toronto’s African communities. The results can be found in the report translated into various languages.

Female Genital Cutting Awareness Program

Uzima is a member of “End FGM/C Canada Network”, a non-partisan group of individuals and organizations working to end female genital mutilation/cutting in Canada and globally.

The network organized awareness campaigns across Canada by applying for proclamations in cities across Canada to declare February 6 the International Day of Zero Tolerance for Female Genital Mutilation. Uzima participated in a virtual webinar on February 6 where a panel presented and young girls sent a message to the Prime Minister Trudeau to address FGM more seriously in Canada. 

Gender Based Violence (GBV)

This program aims to reduce social isolation of African senior women who are survivors of Female Genital Mutilation/ Cutting (FGM/C) and their families in Toronto who experience increased isolation as a result of  COVID-19 and provide them with resources and referrals for more specialized care. 

They are assisted with medication, groceries and other essentials based on urgent needs each month. 

Also, workshops teach participants the coping mechanisms of the effects of GBV and COVID-19, and provide them with knowledge on how to overcome emotional trauma caused by GBV.
