International Day of Zero Tolerance to Female Genital Mutilation in 2021

“I could see the regret in my mother’s eyes. But it was too late.” Mariam was 5 when she went through Female Genital Mutilation. How many girls will still go through the same until we finally #EndFGM? Let's #Act2EndFGM now! https://t.co/ILn7hRGv1N

Today is International Day of Zero Tolerance for FGM. Female genital mutilation (FGM) is when a woman’s genitals are partly or entirely removed, cut, sewn or damaged. FGM is a form of abuse and it is illegal. If you are in immediate danger of FGM call 999. #EndFGM #ItsNotOk

Female genital mutilation is rooted in gender inequalities, power imbalances & the social norms that uphold them. On Saturday's #EndFGM Day, meet women who are driving change in their communities, and join the global movement to end this harmful practice. https://t.co/zVwAM8U0oD https://t.co/ZF188a3hzw

I support #StopFGM and also want to express the importance of #stopMGM as well. Genital mutilation performed on children is disgusting and should never be done without clear medical necessity.

It's International Day of Zero Tolerance for Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) and although we can't commemorate in the usual way (as the images from previous years awareness events show), we support action to #EndFGM https://t.co/wv69UKxTNh
