🌍 World Female Mutilation Day – February 6, 2024 🌍
On this significant day, we join hands to raise awareness about the pressing issue of female genital mutilation (FGM) and stand in solidarity with those affected. World Female Mutilation Day aims to shed light on the physical, emotional, and psychological consequences of this harmful practice, as well as to promote efforts to eradicate it globally.
What is FGM?
Female genital mutilation involves the partial or total removal of external female genitalia for non-medical reasons. It’s a deeply rooted cultural practice affecting millions of girls and women worldwide. FGM violates human rights, posing severe health risks and often perpetuating harmful gender norms.
