We are funding and supporting activists, religious leaders and journalists to use all forms of media TV, radio, digital, satellite and social to urgently end female genital mutilation. We are broadcast in 7 countries, and 52% of the listeners we surveyed say they are acting on the end FGM message.
What We Do
We train activists, religious leaders and journalists how to use the media to end FGM. We support them to broadcast directly to their own communities, in their own language, using their own words. We bring the most influential religious and political leaders on radio, TV and social media to call for an end to the culture of cutting girls.
The Global Media Campaign’s work with Plan Mali to get religious leaders on the media has achieved more in the last 9 months than we have achieved in the last 25 years in Mali.
Imam Traore, President of Islam and Population Network, Mali
If we keep going like this, it will be the best thing we’ve done in our lives.
Nana Samake, Coordinator of FGM Programme from Plan Mali
Before I used to knock doors and speak to one person… now I organise religious leaders to go on TV and speak to millions at a time to end FGM.
Sadia Hussein, Global Media Campaigner, Tana River, Kenya
In 40 years working against FGM, the Global Media Campaign’s work is the most effective anti-FGM campaign I’ve ever come across.
Dr Tobe Levin, Associate of the Hutchins Center for African and African American Research at Harvard University
What the Global Media Campaign is doing is unprecedented – it’s new, its revolutionary and critically, it is on a huge scale. It could be the golden ticket to ending FGM.
