London based African women’s charity FORWARD who has campaigned on female genital mutilation (FGM) for over 30 years is launching the Make Child Mothers Count in Tanzania campaign in collaboration with the @GlobalGiving Accelerator Crowdfunding Campaign.

The original artwork and prints of artwork displayed in the exhibition are available to purchase as part of our Artists Unite to End FGM project.

This September FORWARD’s Youth Programme established a new Youth Advisory Council formed of 12 inspirational and motivated young women!

FORWARD is seeking an actor and film to be involved in a short film production in London as part of the Uncomfortable Conversations project.

FORWARD is seeking submissions from artists, particularly BAME artists, for a Hidden Scars exhibition to be held later in the year. The exhibition will aim to highlight the physical and mental trauma suffered by many women due to FGM, child marriage and similar issues affecting African girls and women.
