Mission Statement

Oxford Against Cutting (OAC) is a rights-based group working to end harmful cultural practices suffered by girls and women living in the Thames Valley.

 

These include:

• Female genital mutilation (FGM)

• Honour-based abuse (HBA) and early and forced marriage (EFM)

• Female cosmetic genital surgery

 

Our mission is to end cultural practices that harm girls and women by:

• Providing education

• Supporting survivors

• Raising awareness of support services

• Empowering young people to champion initiatives against harmful practices

 

People from affected communities and young people are at the forefront of our activities.

 

In collaboration with:

Oxford Amnesty International
