One last thought
We are grateful for the space this grant provided. It is interesting that COVID-19 actually supported the work on the grant. There were activities that we could not complete the way it was planned, but with people’s lives “on a pause”, we had more attention and participation that what would under “normal circumstances”, even from overworked medical staff.
The grant helped us better understand prejudices in both communities. We learned that the medical and general communities are uncomfortable with FGC and struggle to better understand it. FGC, in our opinion, also brings forward racial and gender issues in both communities. Both mainstream and East African communities will have to address their own prejudices and repression of women.
