Big news from #JFG2026 in Kenya
Her Horizon Fund launched with $15.5m, seeded by @WallaceGlobal.
The largest philanthropic commitment ever to end FGM/C, aiming to pool $100m.
It lands as UN funding for this work fell by 45% last year.
Survivors will steer it. #EndFGM
So honored to be part of #justiceforgirls2026 in ##Kenya where we met passionate activists and survivors from 5 continents and 36 countries including Singapore Bangladesh Iraq Colombia India many parts of Africa Europe and of course North America. Survivors rock!#Endfgm

#JFG2026 We should treat FGMC as interconnected problems, not as parallel problems, through joint sessions, convenings, strategies, research and many more approaches. #EndFGMC

The #Justiceforgirls2026 convening in Kenya is about to start & our National Coordinator @Wrrdah_w & Network co-chair @GisellePortenie are super pumped to brainstorm with our international partners and learn from this survivor-centred conference. All to #EndFGM & #childmarriage
Child marriage and female genital mutilation often go hand in hand. Both are wrong and can ruin a girl’s life. This week we are at the #Justiceforgirls2026 convening in Kenya to come up with bold solutions to #Endfgm and #childmarriage. @sahiyovoices
Some things are shaped by fire & skill. Girls shouldn't be one of them.
Found this Nova Scotian Crystal mural in Halifax. Crystal gets shaped because that's its purpose.
A girl's body isn't raw material.
Admire the craftsmanship.
Protect the girls. 💜
You can shape sand into anything.
You should never shape a girl's body against her will.
Spent the day at the Bay of Fundy Sand Sculpture Festival doing my usual thing: reminding everyone that bodily autonomy isn't up for sculpting.
We're proud to be a partner organization for Justice for Girls 2026, a survivor- and community-led global convening happening September 2-4 in Naivasha, Kenya.
150 leaders from 36 countries.

Two forms of violence. One overlap almost nobody is talking about.
New research links FGM/C and human trafficking - girls trafficked while fleeing FGM/C, vacation cutting used as coercion, survivors exploited after.
Museums, murals, pirate ships, and me. Halifax, you never stood a chance. 🌊
Climbed aboard a pirate ship (okay, posed on one), soaked in the art, stood tall against that blue sky.
The best sessions happen when different teams realize they're all protecting the same girls.
That's what unfolded at our FGM/C training with YMCA Newcomer Connections in Saint John, NB.
Thank you for showing up. 💜
Our FGM/C Prevention Pamphlet is now in Arabic and Somali - joining English and French.
A resource sitting in a language someone can't read protects no one.
