No girl or woman should ever be subjected to female genital mutilation/cutting (FGM/C). Yet, FGM/C has been practiced & preserved in some Indonesian communities. Read @UNFPAIndonesia’s article on ending FGM/s through education and community engagement: https://t.co/Y5eQ55ELYK https://t.co/jTwOqRqnbJ

4️⃣ million is the number of girls and women at risk of female genital mutilation every year. 0️⃣ is where we want to be by the year 2030. It's an ambitious goal, but achievable if we unite, fund and act. My message on #ZeroToleranceDay for #FGM ⤵️ https://t.co/d2mbquPWCi
