A Landmark Initiative: Men for Equality Launches UNFPA-Supported Fathers’ Clubs to End FGM through Childfund The Gambia
This groundbreaking project engages fathers — often key decision-makers — to champion the movement to end FGM across three regions.
The initiative includes:
- Intensive community-level training on FGM, positive masculinity, and responsible parenting
- Establishment of Fathers’ Clubs as long-term platforms for male engagement
- Grassroots mobilization to foster collective action and community ownership
This partnership represents a national milestone in male-engagement strategies to protect girls and promote gender equality.
