👩👦Over 230 million girls and women alive today have undergone FGM, and in 2026 an estimated ~4 million girls are at risk, many under age five. There’s still so much work ahead. #EndFGM #HealthForAll

Reflecting on how to get key message of behavioural change, rather than training has been key. Seeing ongoing mentorship and coaching producing results has translated into fewer deaths, and fewer women staying in hospital for weeks with slowly healing wounds post sepsis.
@apt_sepsis produced a fantastic result - 32% ⬇️ in maternal sepsis morbidity & mortality. Now storyboarding with @TabuCapital to see how key messages can be presented through film. So many rich learning experiences - quite hard to summarize! Lively discussions! #AtTheEquatorUG
