PAWA - a Pan African Organization, would like to inform the Pan African Women in Oslo (Norway) who, want to participate in the FGM course that it is only held on Saturdays and that it is possible with the help of Pawa's activities calendar to inform of a suitable Saturday. Below is brief information about the course.
THREE
FOCUS AREAS
WOMENS
HEALTH WITH FOCUS ON THE REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM
Pawa`s
goal is, to increase the knowledge and respect on how a woman's
reproductive system functions and how its functions are affected,
when one has been circumcised.
Women will
gain greater insight into their own health, opportunities to
support and strengthen the arguments and the work against female
circumcision;
FOCUS
ON A CHILD PERSPECTIVE
Female
genital mutilation is a term that obscures. It is not women that
are circumcised. There are small children from two weeks to 4
years. In
Somalia, from 6 -8 years. There are
variations.
But it is children that experience the most horrible pains and
trauma.
Creating
support and attitude-altering GROUPS TO PREVENT
WOMEN
CICUMCISSION AND TO INCREASE the women's AWARENESS ABOUT their own
attitudes and freedom to CHOICE, in REGARDS to THEIR LIFE AND
HEALTH IN NORWAY
