Advocating for the end of female genital mutilation/cutting.
Female genital mutilation/cutting (FGM/C) refers to all procedures involving partial or total removal of the external genitalia or other injury to the genital organs of women and girls, Trans, intersex, and non-binary individuals for non-medical reasons. FGM/C is a form of gender-based violence and is a human rights violation.
According to UNFPA, there are 200 million women and girls alive today who have survived female genital mutilation. These women and girls live all over the world. Each year, about 4 million girls undergo FGM. The practice is deeply rooted and families who decide not to cut their daughters risk becoming social pariahs. One of the most effective ways to end FGM is community abandonment. This is when a community collectively decides to stop performing FGM because it is harmful to girls. This tactic decreases the risk that any one girl or family may be harmed by not partaking in the practice.
