🌍 International Day of Zero Tolerance for FGM
FGM violates human rights and causes serious health problems for many women and girls. In Nigeria, despite the Violence Against Persons Prohibition Act criminalising it, FGM remains a reality for many.
Women and girls affected by FGM face lifelong health risks, including:
♦️ psychological trauma
♦️ sexual problems
♦️ recurrent infections
♦️ complications during childbirth
Ending FGM will take all of us. Let’s #unite2endfgm. ✋
