In its cooperation with our donor Aerzte Fur Die Dritte Welt of Germany and authorities of all concerned, SHIS will contribute towards intensified efforts to combat female circumcision. SHIS can provide resources, expertise and ideas, but the work must be done by the local women with the courage to challenge tradition.
Women education is a sector where SHIS has been particularly aware of the gender dimension. There has been emphasis on increasing the quantity and quality of education by training more women leaders and providing necessary financial tools such as micro-credit for income generation.
