About this Event
On the occasion of the Human Rights Day it is our great pleasure to invite you to the upcoming virtual meeting
“Fighting FGM in Europe. Increasing the impact of policies against Female Genital Mutilations”
organised by No Peace Without Justice and co-hosted by MEPs Alessandra Moretti and Pierrette Herzberger-Fofana at the European Parliament in Brussels, on 10 December 2020 at 10h00 am.
The event will present the conclusions of the project “BEFORE” (Best practices to Empower women against Female genital mutilation, Operating for Rights and legal Efficacy), an initiative implemented by No Peace Without Justice (Italy), Differenza Donna (Italy), Women Safe - Institut de Santé Génésique (France) and La Palabre (Belgium), co-funded by the European Commission.
It will present a set of “evidence-based” recommendations to European relevant stakeholders, which has been developed on the basis of a comparative study and which includes the conclusions of three national roundtables held in Brussels, Rome and Paris and of a stakeholders’ consultation held at the European Parliament in Brussels in February this year. The aim of the recommendations is to increase the legal and political response to FGM at the national and European level.
The meeting will be live streamed and simultaneous interpretation will be provided in English, French and Italian.
Participation in the event is free, but registration is required in order to get the direct link to the conference.
