Aminata Sidibe, also known as Anita, is a Belgian activist of Guinean descendant, a community severely affected by FGM/C. Throughout her career, Anita has dedicated herself to advocating for vulnerable populations, including children, teenagers from disadvantaged areas, and asylum seekers in Belgium and Brazil. She also worked in Mexico as an intern with Article 19, where she supported indigenous peoples' rights, such as access to basic needs and the right to be consulted on development projects on their lands. FGM has always been a cause close to Anita’s heart.
During her Master's degree, she wrote her thesis on strategies to end FGM in Guinea, and in early 2021, she interned at the Group for the Abolition of Female Genital Mutilation (GAMS Belgique). Anita started to work at GAMS Belgium in July 2022 as a project officer, where she has been leading a community diagnosis on the sexual and reproductive health and rights of women living with FGM in Wallonia (southern Belgium).

She is also involved in the EU project "End FGM E-Campus," which seeks to create an online platform providing high-quality, culturally sensitive, and interdisciplinary knowledge for professionals working with FGM-affected communities. As a passionate advocate for the rights of women and girls, Anita is deeply committed to combating FGM and has joined the board of the End FGM European Network since 2023. Through her ongoing work and dedication, she continues to empower vulnerable communities and fight for an end to female genital mutilation worldwide. In September 2024, she began working as the coordinator for GAMS activities in Brussels and the Community of Practice FGM (CoP FGM), while continuing her role as a project officer.
