On International Day of Zero Tolerance for Female Genital Mutilation, the U.S. condemns the practice of female genital mutilation and cutting as a form of #GBV and a human rights abuse, rooted in gender inequality. We stand with survivors in calling for an end to FGM/C. #EndFGM

It will continue to be difficult for local communities to abandon the practice of female genital mutilation (FGM) without support from the global community. We must all play our part to #EndFGM. Take action today: https://t.co/xeooQ25sR1 #GlobalGoals https://t.co/YPsC2BGa92

Female Genital Mutilation is recognized internationally as a violation of the human rights of girls & women. It reflects deep-rooted inequality between the sexes & constitutes an extreme form of discrimination against women. #normalizeequality & support the end of FGM. #EndFGM https://t.co/IPw1vVT65x
