Help us break the silence.

Valerie - FGM survivor

Valerie Lolomari talks to Gbemisola David-West about on how doctors can best offer help to FGM survivors.

Our Mission

Women of Grace is a UK-based survivor led organisation. We advocate against the practice of Female Genital Mutilation/Cutting (FGM/C) and all forms of Gender-Based Violence, educating about their lasting consequences and harms. Our grassroots organization engages with the community through workshops, talks, and activities to raise awareness and provide support services for those affected by FGM/C and abuse. We have no restrictions when it comes to supporting women and girls dealing with trauma from FGM and are committed to empowering them to recognize signs of abuse and where to get help to protect them from harm, regardless of their background, religion, or race.

Our Aims

Community Support

Community is central to our work, and we want to help our community directly by getting them involved in our work and also through immediate and direct responses to those at risk, as well as the provision of resources.

Raising Awareness

At Women of Grace, we are constantly working to break the silence by raising awareness about FGM and gender-based violence, bringing a taboo topic to the forefront so that minoritised women and girls can access the support they deserve.

Making mental health mainstream

As we work to raise awareness about FGM and gender-based violence, we want to help break the stigma surrounding mental health in minoritised communities.
