International Day of Zero Tolerance to Female Genital Mutilation in 2021

Today is International Day of Zero Tolerance for Female Genital Mutilation (FGM). At least 200 million women and girls alive today have experienced FGM. It is an extreme form of discrimination against women, violates human rights, and has NO health benefits. We must #EndFGM! https://t.co/Fh7i1s2LGU

Today marks International Day of Zero Tolerance for Female Genital Mutilation. FGM is not supported by any religious doctrine. FGM has no health benefits. FGM is abuse. FGM can kill. FGM is present on every continent except Antarctica. FGM happens here. #Act2EndFGM #EndFGM https://t.co/vGFSnzGupV

Unless urgent action is taken, 2 million more girls will undergo female genital mutilation by 2030 as a result of the #COVID19 crisis. We have no time to waste. Let’s unite, fund and act to #EndFGM -a horrible practice & terrible human rights violation. https://t.co/Ly7bOT0Eli

Today is International Day of Zero Tolerance for Female Genital Mutilation (FGM), a procedure that causes irreparable physical and psychological harm. FGM happens in London and at the heart of each crime is often a young, vulnerable victim. Help us #EndFGM https://t.co/U7sjL160WS

Did you know? The practice of female genital mutilation is illegal and against the law in Nigeria. According to the VAPP Act, a person who performs female genital mutilation is committing an offence, and can be imprisoned or fined or both. #Act2EndFGM #IDeyWithHer https://t.co/vWpaVBvorj

February 6 is the International day to end Female Genital Mutilation. I thought we could start the day off with trans rights egoist's greatest hits -- including "transwomen have it worse" and "but think about the non-binaries" https://t.co/vcdgip8gaa
