Today, 240 million women and girls are living with the impacts of Female Genital Mutilation (FGM). But evidence shows that targeted community engagement, education campaigns and local leadership can shift social norms and accelerate abandonment of the practice.

From community caravans to sustained media campaigns, this approach is changing attitudes, protecting girls, and supporting communities to move away from FGM. Watch how this work has evolved over the past 10 years.
WHY FGM IS EVERYONE'S BUSINESS
EVERY 11 SECONDS, A GIRL IS CUT.
Over 4 million girls every year. This is happening now.
GLOBAL CHALLENGES ARE INTERCONNECTED.
FGM persists where climate and economic instability hit hardest.
THIS IS CLOSER TO YOU THAN YOU THINK.
FGM is linked to global supply chains, workforces and communities.
FGM HAS LIFE-THREATENING CONSEQUENCES.
At least 44,000 women die each year in childbirth due to FGM.
THIS IS A PROBLEM WE CAN SOLVE.
The solutions exist — and they are already working.
PROVEN. MEASURABLE. SCALABLE.
