Daughters of Eve is a non profit organisation, that works to advance and protect the physical, mental, sexual and reproductive health rights of young people from female genital mutilation practising communities.
We recognise female genital mutilation (FGM) as a form of gender-based violence, which therefore reflects and reinforces inequities between men and women and compromises the health, dignity, security and autonomy of its victims. Daughters of Eve believe that young people need to be supported holistically and work with women and girls should be based on their needs and not the act of violence.
Daughters of Eve came about after its founders working with FGM practicing communities for many years identified the need for specialist support and advocate service for young people within these communities.

Contact Daughters of EveWe at Daughters of Eve come from FGM practising communities. We have heard all the opinions for and against the practice and know all about the social and health impacts. We can give you advice and support, or just be someone to talk to who understands.
If you have had any form of FGM we can give you advice, including about the different medical reversal options, advice about childbirth and how to live as healthily as possible with FGM. We can give you advice about what you can do to minimise the risk of FGM happening to you or someone you know. But if you believe you are in an immediate risk of harm, please contact the emergency services by dialling 999 or contact Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 or via their website. |
