#WalkwithNaima
“As Mayor of Southwark and a passionate advocate for ending Female Genital Mutilation (FGM), I am deeply committed to driving meaningful change both locally and globally. As a survivor and FGM ambassador, I understand the profound impact of this harmful practice, and I have dedicated my life to raising awareness and supporting survivors. This walk represents a step forward in solidarity, empowerment, and hope. Join me in this journey and be part of a global change. Together, we can turn small steps into lasting impact.
Walk with Naima is more than a fundraiser—it is a movement. I envision it becoming an annual tradition, uniting communities, organizations, and individuals to walk, cycle, and take strides together for a future free from FGM. Every mile counts, and together, we can make an extraordinary difference.”
