Demonstrating its role as a key advocate for policy change, the CSO Network recently submitted a formal memorandum to the National Technical Working Group on Gender-Based Violence and Femicide.

This submission highlights the critical need for integrated strategies to combat FGM, particularly amid emerging socio-economic challenges. By fostering strategic partnerships with major stakeholders such as the Anti-FGM Board, UN Women, UNFPA, and UNICEF, the network continues to amplify grassroots voices and ensure that protection mechanisms remain a national priority.
