SUMMARY:Cutting to the chase on Zero Tolerance for FGM
DESCRIPTION:ATTEND THIS EVENT FOR FREE : Click to register \nMany will mark the International Day of Zero Tolerance for female genital mutilation/circumcision (FGM/C) on February 6th\, and even claim success locally\, nationally and worldwide in endeavors to eradicate this traditional practice. Few however will consider the negative effects that anti-FGM initiatives and interventions have had on targeted people. \nHigh profile campaigns in the UK have promoted this approach\, exemplified by political initiatives\, legislation\, activism\, awareness-raising\, surveillance\, safeguarding policies with an overwhelming desire to prosecute. These have resulted in some Black and Minority Ethnic Communities locally and nationally feeling targeted\, marginalised and stigmatised. \nIn Sheffield\, many have experienced the negative impact of this safeguarding approach. Some women circumcised as children or young adults\, mostly in their country of origin\, feel victimised by the assumption that they will automatically subject their daughters to a practice most have since rejected. Some believe they have consequently been served e.g. FGM Protection Orders and had children removed merely because they belong to a particular ethnic group. Others have encountered unwelcome interventions because of the Mandatory Reporting duty. Systems that claim not to discriminate have left some feeling stigmatised and criminalised\, while what should be relationships of trust with professionals have been damaged. \nChallenging this orientation has been difficult and today some women at the receiving end will tell their stories and illustrate how problematic they have found it. Other contributors will put what is happening in Sheffield into a wider context. Together we will explore what communities and professionals can do to heal rifts and look towards working together more positively in the future. \nWho should attend: \n\nSafeguarding staff and practitioners\nCommunity and voluntary organisations\nMembers of the public\n\nLunch will be provided \nPlease click here to register

SUMMARY:The Untold Damage of FGM Protection Orders
DESCRIPTION:ATTEND THIS EVENT FOR FREE : Click to register \nMany will mark International Day of Zero Tolerance to end FGM on February 5th\, and may even celebrate their successes in furthering that endeavour. But few will consider the damage being caused by the work of the anti-FGM movement itself. \nLegislation is an important part of the movement’s armoury and FGMPOs are central to it. They were introduced via the 2015 Serious Crime Act and are designed to help protect children from the practice. \nBetween July 2015 and Sept 2019\, 408 FGMPO applications were made to Family Courts and 489 Orders were granted. Some believe these numbers are too low\, believing that daughters and siblings of women and girls who have undergone FGM and are living in the UK\, are automatically at risk of FGM. \nThere is no evidence to support this claim or data to justify it. But the damage and inconvenience that Protection Orders cause to families and children in the application\, granting and monitoring processes are unacknowledged or ignored. \nToday some people at the receiving end of FGMPOs will tell their stories and illustrate just how damaging and problematic they can be.
