Insight
Over 200 million women and girls internationally are living with the effects of Female Genital Mutilation/Cutting (FGM/C). Thousands of survivors and those vulnerable of being cut are living in the UK, but our media, healthcare, education and government doesn’t reflect this.
Solution
The Vavengers is a survivor-led organisation. Our main actions are: supporting grassroots programs and campaigning to mainstream FGM/C while amplifying the voices of survivors. My work pays most attention to the latter and in the two years since taking this role have worked to create a more established visual and written voice in which to make this happen.

The bulk of my design work involves making assets for social media that have also been researched, written & scheduled by me. Within this space I have experimented with our written and visual brand to understand what our audience respond to.
Due to low capacity (working as a volunteer outside of various jobs), it is only recently that I have worked on & within a marketing strategy that reflects our Theory of Change (TOC). I continue to learn about strategic marketing and am proud to do so while guiding a team of volunteers.
