FGM Criminalization

The use of cartoons is the simplest way to convey a message to a simple or illiterate reader who cannot read.

Therefore, we use the cartoons to oppose a sensitive issue such as the issue of female genital mutilation" FGM ", which unfortunately is strongly prevalent in Egyptian society.

Many of the drawings explaining the issue have been implemented in a simplified and powerful way for many government agencies and civil society organizations " NGO ".

FGM Criminalization

Criminalizing female genital mutilation (FGM) is a sensitive issue addressed by the "Waai" program through educating the community about the physical and psychological harms of this practice. Efforts include organizing awareness campaigns in local communities, providing support to affected girls and families, and enforcing laws that criminalize FGM. The Ministry of Social Solidarity, in cooperation with relevant organizations, raises awareness about the importance of protecting girls from this harmful practice and promoting their health and bodily rights, contributing to achieving justice and equality and improving the quality of life for girls. Sameh Samir collaborated with the Ministry and donor institutions like the European Union and UNDP to produce visual content, including cartoons, books, animated films, and various publications, to support these efforts.
