    6 February is the International Day of Zero Tolerance for Female Genital Mutilation. Raise your voices to #endFGM.pic.twitter.com/FLrfw4lRJg

    Let's put an end to FGM
    Globally, at least 200 million girls and women alive today have undergone some form of female genital mutilation (FGM). If current trends continue, 15 million more girls could be affected by 2030

        It should be in the criminal law to forbid this cruelism, till not in the law could be given education to their parents. Leaflets and books.
