FAWE Mali has recently organized a community awareness session in the Sikasso region to promote girls’ education, respect for Sexual and Reproductive Health Rights (SRHR), and the fight against Gender-Based Violence (GBV) and harmful cultural practices.

This initiative is part of the Child Rights Promotion Project to Enhance Participation and Self-Protection as Agents of Change, known as Demisenw Ka Lakana Ko. Implemented in collaboration with Coordination Nationale Mali Terre des Hommes Suisse, the project aims to strengthen community awareness of children’s rights and foster a protective environment for them.

Through this session, FAWE Mali sought to challenge harmful societal norms, empower young girls to pursue education, and ensure safer spaces for children. By engaging with community members, the initiative promotes collective action to guarantee that all children, particularly girls, can fully exercise their rights and contribute to the development of their communities.

FAWE Mali remains dedicated to advocating for inclusive education and child protection policies. By working closely with local and international partners, the organization continues to pave the way for a society where every child, regardless of gender, has access to equal opportunities for learning and success.
