What is FGM/C?
FGM/C comprises all procedures that involve partial or total removal of the external female genitalia, or other injury to the female genital organs for non-medical reasons. It is used to control the sexuality, bodies and lives of women and girls.
It is not a religious requirement and it is carried out without consent, stripping individuals of their fundamental right to make decisions about their own bodies.
What are some of the Impacts of FGM/C?
FGM/C can result in severe complications. These include: severe bleeding, menstrual issues, sexual health problems, complications during childbirth and mental health issues. FGM/C can also result in death.
What are we doing to end FGM/C?
We research where FGM/C occurs, who it affects, and what helps to stop it, to guide action to end the practice.

In our movement building we create and support strong regional and global networks that work together to end FGM/C.
