Oxford Against Cutting will soon be rebranding to: Sundial Centre for Education on Harmful Practices

The-Oxford-Academy

Students from Oxford Academy took part in a theatre project to help raise awareness about female genital mutilation (FGM).

The project was designed to give students a “product” they can use to talk about FGM with peers so they become anti-FGM champions in their schools.

The workshops were led by a human rights activist and a professional actor. Students learned about issues around FGM, awareness-raising/campaign work and participated in a play reading. They also met a survivor of FGM who talked about the difficulties in “speaking up” and then created some improvisation work based on her story and artwork as visual stimuli.
