“Bawso, provides vital support to women affected by violence, including forced marriage, FGM, HBV, and MSHT. FGM, a global issue, affects millions of girls annually, with alarming numbers in the UK, including Wales. Despite stringent legislation, cases persist, highlighting the need for continued vigilance. Bawso’s proactive approach includes community advocacy and support programs, reaching thousands and assisting over 100 clients by 2019. Their dedication ensures survivors receive holistic support, including psychosocial care. Bawso’s work stands as a beacon of hope in the fight against FGM, offering refuge and support to those in need”. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
