The Agency for Culture and Change Management is committed to promoting culture and advocating good change to improve human life.
The agency raises awareness on cultural practices that are harmful, in particular female genital mutilation.
Providing support and help to women and girls affected by female genital mutilation, the agency is pro-active in developing services to enable circumcised women to access culturally aware treatment and care.
The agency supports young girls and families who wish to abandon harmful practices by offering support, information and advice.
The Female Genital Mutilation Act 2003 has made it illegal to have young girls circumcised either in the UK or by taking them abroad for the practice.
The agency offers information and advice to all families from communities who have been known to practice FGM as part of their heritage.
