VAWG & Cultural Harmful Practices
Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG) is the umbrella term used to describe a range of violent and abusive acts and behaviours, which are predominantly, but not exclusively, directed against women and girls.
This term is used to describe abuse against all genders but highlights the disproportionate impact on women and girls.
Use our guides to find out more about VAWG and how to get involved with Ayda Community.
Identifying and recognising signs of abuse early will help to take action and protect women and girls.
Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) comprises all procedures involving partial or total removal of the external female genitalia or other injury to the female genital organs for non-medical reasons.
Sign up for our VAWG & Cultural harmful practices Awareness and Empowerment workshops.
The support forum aims to empower women/girls who are survivors/at risk of harmful cultural practices including VAWG & FGM onto a more sustainable footing.
