A- ABOUT LA FRATERNITÉ
For the past few years, we have been conducting various activities in and outside of London, working with various stakeholders within the Guinean and African Community in the UK to raise awareness about the specific issue of Female Genital Mutilations and the broader topic of Safeguarding Children. We’ve gathered various professionals from the Home Office, the Metropolitan Police, the NHS, Psychotherapists, Religious Leaders, Campaigners from different African countries, and Survivors of FGM. These activities have been very popular – and we have teamed-up with other organisations to train Community Champions within the Guinean community.
La Fraternité aims to continue these activities and seek new professional and collaborative work with other organisations.
La Fraternité Board and Trustees run the charity according to statutory guidelines.

C- ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
a. Summary of the main achievements of the charity, identifying the difference the charity’s work has made to the circumstances of its beneficiaries and any wider benefits to society
Guinea is the second country with the highest Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) prevalence around the world according to the World Health Organisation. However, though the campaign to end the practice only gained a momentum until 2015, the Guinean community was not involved in any campaign related to the violence against women and girls. La Fraternité is the first organisation to kick-start an integration and FGM awareness campaign targeting the Guinean community.
In 2020, despite the pandemic, La Fraternité hosted several online workshops and provided lots of support targeting hard-to-reach communities.
