Wise words from @GatimuMuchai and perhaps something we all need to consider as we unite to end #FGM by 2030:
"The pursuit of perfection is frustrating & a waste of time. A lot of opportunities will be lost if we wait for things to be perfect. Just start & improve along the way!"

We agree with you @GaryLineker
That is why your football brother @YayaToure has joined our #BornPerfect campaign to end #FGM
FGM is like #RoeVWade an assault on women's body autonomy - impacting 4 million girls in 2022.
Your support would be welcomed 🙏

IF #RoeVsWade makes you angry - because it is an attack on a woman's right to body autonomy
Then please consider the plight of 4 million girls at risk of #FGM in 2022
Our #BornPerfect campaign uses football legends like
@YayaToure to say "NO to FGM"
