Global Women Intact Annual Fundraising Events

Our Annual International Clitoris Celebration is dedicated as a special fundraising event. Each year we dedicate the event to raising money for specific causes. This year the performance benefit's cause is to raise funds for refugee women and children within the borders of Liberia, Sierra Leone, and Guinea, West Africa. Thousands of women in Sierra Leone, traumatized and made vulnerable by a decade of civil war, are challenged to create a new life alone. The following article is excerpted from the US Committee for Refugees' Web site.

During Sierra Leone's decade-long civil war, Sierra Leonean women faced particular brutality. The civil conflict left tens of thousands dead and forced more than one million Sierra Leoneans to flee their homes. Today, thousands of traumatized refugee women and girls face extraordinary hurdles as they seek to return home and rebuild their lives. Many now face the uncertainty of life without the support of extended families, returning to a country destroyed by war, where their rights are not guaranteed and where crimes against women continue at a high rate."

Fundraising Events

Our fundraising events also benefit Global Women Intact's goal to end female circumcision through education, information, and alternative forms of initiation ceremonies. What lies ahead each year is a chance to eat authentic African food, to hear authentic African music, and to buy authentic African clothing designed by women from different parts of Africa, including Senegal, Liberia, Guinea, the Ivory Coast, Gambia, etc. It also includes a chance to win many wonderful prizes, such as Dinner for Two, Hair Braiding, Gift Certificates, and a Manicure and Pedicure.

Donations

There are many ways your donation will benefit our organization, Global Women Intact. One of our main objectives at Global Women Intact is to educate the general public about the global practice of female genital mutilation, and its effects, physically, culturally, as well as emotionally, on women worldwide. We at Global Women Intact use the vehicle of a comedic one-woman play to send out our message. While many people are interested and supportive, the large economic overhead of producing such a play can be staggering. Your donation will assist. We'd love to add your name to our distribution list.
