International Day of Zero Tolerance to Female Genital Mutilation in 2022

Today is the International Day of Zero Tolerance for Female Genital Mutilation. This practice, unfortunately widespread in various regions of the world, demeans the dignity of women and gravely undermines their physical integrity.

Female Genital Mutilation is a catastrophic human rights abuse of girls & women. It is rooted in unacceptable gender inequality. Join us to say #ZeroTolerancetoFGM. https://t.co/zoWWw8V40x

Today is International Day of Zero Tolerance for Female Genital Mutilation. As an Iranian women’s rights activist, I condemn FGM & I fully support my sisters who fight with it around the world. This practice has no medical benefits and is a form of violence against women. #EndFGM https://t.co/pREXsGEggH

On International Day of Zero Tolerance for Female Genital Mutilation let's remind governments that they must "provide all necessary prevention and protection services to children and women who are, or are at high risk of becoming, victims of harmful practices" #uncrc #childrights https://t.co/qBsZ7f8CtA

Today is the International Day for the Elimination of FGM Living with the physical and emotional consequences of FGM is excruciating. But just as painful is the silence women are forced to endure about their experience For support in the West Midlands: https://t.co/wzgIGOuag4 https://t.co/3wWBItEaYZ

February 6th is the International day against Female Genital Mutilation. Over 200 Million Women in the World have been mutilated. I am one of them. When I was 4 years old, behind my parents back, a family member took me to a lady who did it. Photo by my mentor #MalickSidibe https://t.co/Zl8jXE6qeH
