A powerful fireside chat between donors & civil society at the #WD2023 FGM Pre-Conference, focused on eliminating the funding gap in the #FGM sector. We heard from donors like Wallace Global Fund & AmplifyChange who continue to fund & support Asia Network to End FGM/C ✊🏽

This fantastic news of Kenya’s FGM prevalence decline is also due to the tenacity and effectiveness of activist and survivor-led frontline organizations! #FrontlineEndingFGM

Crucial message from Susan Gibbs! “There is now an urgent FGM funding crisis.  What makes the crisis so tragic and infuriating is that we know what to do to rid the world of FGM.  We must go all out-now and drive support at scale to frontline activists." #Endfgm #WD2023

Our partners & grantees were out in force at last week's African Union Int'l Conference on ending #FGM in Tanzania. We must shift the power and drive funding at scale to the activists and survivors on the front lines. #ICFGM2023 #FrontlineEndingFGM #EndFGMGeneration

4.4 million girls are at risk this year for #FGM. Yet the crucial work of activists remains vastly under-funded. While girls today are less likely to endure FGM than 30 yrs ago, we must fund + support the frontline movements working to #endFGM. #HerVoiceMatters

"What we hope will happen to this ship is she will be towed into dry dock and resurrected as a gorgeous, mixed-use museum development, hotel event space and can be reborn as the American icon that she has been," Susan Gibbs told CBS Philadelphia. cbsnews.com/philadelphia/n…

Today we highlight Gwen Lux (1908–2001) one of America’s pioneering sculptors known for her abstractions and experiments with nontraditional materials. Lux created the “Expressions of Freedom” on board SS United States. #InternationalWomensDay

The SS United States won the equivalent of Olympic gold in the transatlantic speed race. She also epitomized America's optimism and can-do spirit. Now, she's in grave danger and we're trying desperately to save her. SSUS Conservancy nytimes.com/2024/08/09/us/…
