Madeleine Memb
Board Member, IAWRT

Madeleine Memb shares her experience of working with women in Cameroon in addressing the issue of female genital mutilation. She shares IAWRT's experience in working with ethnic groups in the country who continue to practice FGM, training community women on the use of video and film in mainstreaming the issue. She also shares challenges they encountered, including issues of censorship, the lack of technological skills of women, as well as ethical issues involving women on the ground. She emphasises the great need for engendering technologies by training women in the use of these technologies, so that they may be self operational and autonomous, and thereby able to effectively communicate their issues.
