| Partnerships |
| |
As an organisation we work in partnership with other organisations in developing new projects and creating a network of information and exchange.
The networks are both informal; working to bring women in the community together to support each other in the fight against FGM and other issues affecting them as black women, and means of lobbying policy makers and statutory agencies at the highest levels with a stronger collective voice.
Some of the organisations with whom we have worked in partnership are listed below:
