Unity for Equality - UFE

The 6th February marks the International Day of Zero Tolerance for Female Ge***al Mutilation, an awarenss and prevention day around the Female Ge***al Mutilation [FGM] around the world.

The International Day of Zero Tolerance for Female Ge***al Mutilation is an opportunity to raise awarenss on the causes, factors of FGM on women’s Bodies and Rights.

The practice which has existed through years is however understated for its social and cultural factors in ethnic minorities. However, it is also noted that with Medical FGM, women in developing countries experience it also.

Female Ge***al Mutilation showcases deep-rooted inequality between the sexes and extreme form of discrimination against women and girls.

Therefore, combined efforts are required to bring about awareness and end this painful practice.

Did you know October is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month? Many parents do not talk about the immense pain they go through when losing their child whether through miscarriages or stillbirths. For instance, they keep all these feelings of frustration, anger, sadness or even shame bottled up mainly because of what the society might think and the fear of how this circumstance will define them.

Pregnancy and infant loss is common worldwide, so there is no need to feel ashamed or any less of a woman. Instead of blaming the mother or parents, we should seek how to support them and make them feel valued despite their painful experience.

Even in this digitalised era, many people think that it is a taboo to talk about such situation. As a result, there is inadequate information on this topic and people are not well-educated.

Expressing our feelings and experiences no matter what others' perspectives are, is of utmost importance, especially where we feel the need to talk to someone about such a sensitive matter. After having gone through such a harsh reality, it is crucial to give the couples a voice to their sufferings and help them to overcome their agony.

Let us together break the silence that surrounds pregnancy and infant loss, offer support to individuals who are grieving, and remove myths and false expectations held by others who have never experienced such pain. Let us stand together in solidarity to support our community and bring a change in the society.

UFE is with you and for you ❤
