Join the Global Movement to #endFGM/C by 2030!

Four American survivors of Female Genital Mutilation/Cutting (FGM/C) break the culture of silence around the issue. These women, from diverse backgrounds, illustrate that FGM/C is not restricted to any one geography, religion, or socioeconomic class. In order to realize the UN Sustainable Development Goal of ending FGM/C by 2030, we need all hands on deck. Not only do more courageous survivors need to speak out, we need religious leaders, men and boys, health practitioners, and young people to join the global campaign. In light of the news that an Indian doctor in Detroit, USA, has been arrested on charges of performing FGM/C on minor girls in the community, we believes it is more important than ever to urge the UN to invest in research and support that will promote the abandonment of FGM/C in all affected communities. Thank you all ready for signing this petition. If you can, please share a link to this petition on your social media channels and encourage your friends and family to sign the petition too!
