Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) is a harmful traditional practice that affects millions of girls and women around the world. It is a violation of their human rights and can cause severe physical and emotional harm. As an anti-FGM NGO, we are committed to raising awareness about the dangers of FGM and to working to end this practice.

FGM is a procedure that involves the partial or total removal of the external female genitalia. It is often performed on girls between the ages of 4 and 14 and is most commonly found in African and Middle Eastern countries, however, it is a widespread issue around the globe. This practice is often performed without anesthesia and can cause severe pain, bleeding, infection, and even death. In addition, FGM can have long-term health consequences, such as chronic pain, difficulty urinating and menstruating, and an increased risk of complications during childbirth.

FGM is not only a physical violation but also a violation of the girl’s human rights and it is a violation of their right to life, health, and bodily integrity. It is also a violation of their right to be free from discrimination and to be protected from violence.

We also provide support and resources to girls and women who have been affected by FGM, including medical care and counseling.

We also advocate for laws and policies that protect girls and women from FGM and hold those who perform the practice accountable for their actions. This includes working with governments to criminalize FGM, and supporting the efforts of law enforcement to investigate and prosecute those who perform FGM.
