  • It is not only in Africa, Asia and the Middle East that girls and women are genitally mutilated, no, it also happens in our midst

  • With our global campaigns and educational initiatives, we draw attention to this crime and raise awareness for the fight against FGM

  • Together with our supporters, we want to banish this cruel ritual from the world once and for all
