My Body My Rules (2015) is a three-minute animated film aimed at raising awareness of female genital mutilation (FGM) amongst primary school aged children in the UK.
The film was developed as a visual aid to help facilitate sessions on FGM in primary schools in the UK and for use by professionals and non-governmental organizations working with younger children at risk of FGM.
[1] My Body My Rules was adapted from a previous animated short by FORWARD and Animage on the subject of FGM in the UK, entitled Needlecraft.
Funded by Comic Relief and the Sigrid Rausing Trust, and intended for the general public and professional audience, Needlecraft was launched on the web in June 2015.
A third short film, The True Story of Ghati and Rhobi, was made for Africa.
