Details

Mission and objectives

Our vision is a world where every woman is safe, healthy and lives free from female genital mutilation (FGM). Our purpose is to work with anti-FGM activists to promote, sustain and safeguard the physical and emotional well-being of women by the global eradication of FGM. We need to significantly scale up and accelerate our efforts, using identified effective practices to guide our approach. Everyone has an important role to play in ending FGC. Ending cutting can’t be achieved by one organisation alone. It requires a movement of organisations, activists, politicians, ambassadors and leaders at all levels.
