The horrific story Eleanor Williams told on social media quickly went viral.
Awareness days draw attention to specific issues, causes, illnesses, and events. They allow audiences to explore a specific topic, encourage research into a specific issue, and provide people with the opportunity to develop, demonstrate, or simply reaffirm their support.
It's been a year of dedication to feed communities in London. Our team of volunteers have been at the service of the community. We support people from all walks of life, no questions asked.
Aminata Bah’s fight against FGM/C and GBV has spanned over a decade. As a former inhabitant of the heavily affected area of Guinea she carries a deep personal commitment to addressing these critical issues that afflict women and girls worldwide.
It was a pleasure to be among you on the day & thank you for hosting us.
We are back on the field to feed families and support communities in London.

It was a pleasure to attend in Conakry the invitation by the UK Embassy to British Nationals to meet the new ambassador John Marshall and celebrate The Coronation of His Majesty King Charles III.
It's with great pleasure we announce that our Chair Mama Sylla has won The IKWRO True Honour Award 2023.
Each year, IKWRO – Women’s Rights Organisation, holds the True Honour Awards to celebrate individuals and organisations that take a stand against “honour” based abuse, whether in their personal lives or in their work.
GUINEA - In the town of Koundara, Salimatou Camara was burned on both feet by her biological mother named Aissatou Barry. Her crime? Having lost the keys to the house. The alleged perpetrator of this act is free whilst the abused girl, the victim, risks losing the use of her lower limbs permanently if nothing is done.
LA FRATERNITÉ UK trained a total of 27 community members on Safeguarding Children. A Certificate Delivery Ceremony was held on 19 November 2022 to hand the certificates to the new Champions. The project was gratefully funded by the Community Fund.
As part of our Safeguarding Children campaign, La Fraternité provided a tailored training on how keep children safe to about 30 community champions from different countries, based in various cities in England & Wales.
The charity La Fraternité Guinéenne is training Community Champions in safeguarding children.
Among some conservative Muslim communities there, women are regarded as "unclean" and "not ready for marriage" unless FGM - the deliberate cutting or removal of a female's external genitalia - is performed.
Mama Sylla grew up in Guinea, where the prevalence of FGM in women aged 15-49 in Guinea is 96.9%, with 70% of those women having been cut between the ages of 5 and 14.
Most of the time, parents who allow their girls to be cut are also victims of their ignorance. They think that since they had undergone the practice, it is normal for their daughters to be put through the same ordeal.
