It challenges men to reflect on their role in either sustaining or ending the practice.Through raw, honest, and at times uncomfortable dialogue, we explore:The hidden mental and emotional impact of FGMHow silence from men allows harmful practices to continueThe connection between trauma, relationships, and family lifeWhat it truly means to be a man who protects rather than preserves harmAnd the urgent question:  If not men, then who will stop this?This is Men Men Men at its core,  real conversations, real accountability, real change.Because FGM will not end with policies alone. It will end when men decide:“Not in my family. Not in my name. Not in my generation.”
