Giving a voice to victims of female genital mutilation

Very recently, vivo has started its work with women who have undergone female genital mutilation (FGM) in Ethiopia. In July, August and September 2010 more than 150 interviews with women in Jijiga (close to the Somali border) were conducted on FGM and its mental health consequences, including an intake on the special needs of the women. vivo was impressed by the strength of the women in the Somali region but also very much touched by their horrendous experiences and the pain they have undergone. Knowing about the mental, physical, social and psychological plight of sexually cut women in detail now, we are eagerly planning a focussed treatment and support project.

Housing project for HIV/AIDS orphans in Ethiopia

Ethiopia is one of the poorest countries of the world. Already in 2004 it was home to 3.9 Million orphans. While many organizations are providing food, clothes and schooling for these children, vivo’s focus is on the psychosocial needs of these children to ensure their healthy mental development. Back in spring 2006 vivo interviewed more than 100 children orphaned due to HIV/AIDS living in Awassa, in Southern Ethiopia. Beside symptoms of grief, many children living in so-called foster families were suffering from ongoing maltreatment and were exploited by their foster families as servants. Therefore additionally to the implementation of trauma and grief counselling structures for orphans, vivo also engaged in awareness raising activities against child abuse and maltreatment in the community and provided training for local counsellors, grandparents and foster families on ‘positive parenting’.
