The Join our CHAIN project is dedicated to the prevention and elimination of the harmful practices of female genital mutilation (FGM) and early and forced marriage (EFM) among affected communities in 4 EU member states: (Belgium, Germany , Italy, Ireland), and through the European Network End FGM EU.
Both practices are forms of gender-based violence (GBV) that are often intertwined.
The project aims to tackle FGM and EFM committed against women and girls through continuous community empowerment, trainings, capacity building of key professionals as well as sensitisation of relevant stakeholders -all promoting a community-based and gender-sensitive approach.
A coordinated, quick response to FGM and EFM cases also requires
coordinated action between several institutions and stakeholders to provide protection and support for women and girls affected by and/or at risk of FGM/EFM.
Therefore, the project focuses on strengthening support measures among 576 key professionals and relevant stakeholders through capacity-building and the promotion of local intervention chains (IC), also via three video tutorials of the model project (DE, IT, IE) enabling exchange of good practices across the EU and disseminated by every partner organisation.
