My Body Belongs to Me
A Project by Bent El Nile
ABOUT THE PROJECT
"My Body Belongs to Me" is a project launched in 2019 to combat Female Genital Mutilation. This project works to change cultures and heritages that lead to the continuation of violence against girls and women in Egyptian communities through documentation, questionnaires and research.

As an outcome of this project, an awareness booklet was produced with proposing questions and answers on circumcision and methods of reporting circumcision, along with a quantitative research paper on the proportions of circumcision and types in El-Bahira governorate. This booklet also highlights the conditions and types of violence occurring to women in El-Bahira governorate.
