Opening for 2 Volunteers in Communication & Programmes

19/07/2022

We are looking for 2 volunteers to join the Communication and the Programmes Department of the End FGM European Network to implement the "Understanding Community Voices" project !

End Female Genital Mutilation European Network
Brussels, Belgium

Since 2021, End FGM EU has implemented the Understanding Community Voices project under the European Solidarity Corps scope. At the End FGM European Network we strongly believe in the power of youth, and we want to provide concrete opportunities for youth from FGM-affected communities and/or a marginalised group to grow professionally and build their experience and skills, to be better equipped to become key actors in Ending FGM. Our work to end FGM could not exist without the incredible work people from FGM-affected communities to bring about societal and behavioural change. On a long-term basis, the FGM-affected communities (our target groups) will feel empowered and supported by End FGM EU to fight against social norms and pressures, inequalities, and become strong voices to end FGM.

The Understanding Community Voices project aims at identifying, supporting, and strengthening the work of community voices across Europe. It highlights and showcases the work done by activists and members of community-centred organisations to influence policy and legislation, shift attitudes and break stigmas. It also sought to identify and understand the needs and obstacles of affected communities to better support and strengthen their efforts.
