Over three million girls a year are still being victims of genital mutilation today, not only in Africa and Asia, but also in Europe, the USA and Australia. What can we do? In supporting to amnesty campaign –END FGM EUROPEAN CAMPAIGN – we launch ADDHU CAMPAIGN TO SAY: RESPECT WOMEN’S RIGHTS AND TO STOP FGM!!

Ending Female Genital Mutilation: a goal we can achieve!

 FGM is a form of violence against women and girls and a human rights violation. The practice is illegal only in the UK and is classified as a form of child abuse, yet in 2007 it was estimated that more than 32,000 girls were at high risk of being subjected to it.

The project helped to raise awareness of the dangers of female genital mutilation/cutting, by encouraging large-scale community discussions and national debate on issues of human rights, as well as collective decision-making through extended social networks about gender norms. This method resulted in communities coming together for district-wide public declarations of the abandonment of these practices. Europe needs a more holistic approach, with demonstrable commitment on educating social workers, school teachers, doctors and other professionals and engaging affected communities so that we can work together to end FGM.

You can make a difference.
