There is available data of FGM presence in 92 countries and out of these, only 51 countries have prohibited FGM either under national laws or specific anti FGM laws. Criminalizing #FGM ensures that survivors access justice and puts in place penalties for perpetrators. #EndFGM
FGM is child abuse and has no place in modern Britain. From providing information at the border, to giving police the powers to catch perpetrators, we are determined to support survivors and #EndFGM.

My message today is directly to men across the globe. In our role as fathers, husbands, community and religious leaders, we play a significant role in the fight against FGM. We need to put all hands on deck to bring an end to FGM in this generation. #16Days #MenEndFGM #YSMANG

“I’m involved in the movement to end female genital cutting (FGC) because it’s time to end. It’s so outdated.” At the @sahiyovoices activist retreat in New York this March, Salma Qamruddin spoke of her excitement at being involved in the movement to #EndFGC.
Ending FGM should be everyone's responsibility. FGM affects Health, education, economy, development, ticket to child marriage & should be a priority in every sector of Government. #EndFGM #EndChildMarriage #SundayThoughts
"The ability of girls to live up to their full potential is impeded by various issues including #FGM which violates their right to health by causing extensive, irreversible damage to normal genitalia resulting in immediate & long term health consequences,” @MakandiGitonga #EndFGM
"Even though #Kenya has prohibited the medicalisation of #FGM under Articles 19 to 20 of the Prohibition of FGM Act (2011), it has the 3rd highest prevalence of medicalised #FGM in #Africa," @equalitynow's @MakandiGitonga. #EndFGM
Now young men are coming out strongly condemning fgm, since girls are suffering because of men. Good job @DayaaGroup I'm proud to be Dayaa. Survivors are now reaching to future husbands so that they accept uncut girls & fathers to say #NotToMyDaughter #EndFGM #SurvivorsEndFGM
“It’s never good talking about your own experience, especially your own body, but I’m fighting FGM because it is that horrible. If it weren’t that gruesome, I wouldn’t be fighting it,” @EdnaAdan. Via @Telegraph by @RosaSilverman #EndFGM #Somaliland telegraph.co.uk/women/life/for…
Female genital mutilation (FGM) is rooted in gender inequality and the social norms that uphold it. #SeeAPieceOfMe to watch 3 fearless women speak from the heart about ending FGM: unf.pa/APieceOfMe #EndFGM #GlobalGoals
This came up in the discussion today. It is so sad that all these myths are said about uncut women just so FGM is continued. It is belittling and demeaning. Somebody somewhere imagines she will be like a cock that chases hens around🙄. #EndFGM #CommitmentToHumanity

#nofgm the minute you are mutilated. Your innocence disappears. Its replaced by mistrust loneliness, confused, and most of pain. Your world collapse very hard. You wonder. Mum if you knew this pain? Why do it to me? That was me Our moms grew up with it Normal for them
"It is unfortunate that this is happening at a time when there are no other forms of legal relief through which the rights of girls and women can be upheld and perpetrators of #FGM held liable," @equalitynow's @FaizaJMohamed. #EndFGM #Liberia liberianobserver.com/news/liberia-u…
One day... #EndFGM shall be a reality. One day, girls and women shall be free from the suffering caused by FGM. Our role is to quicken the pace. Be the catalysts so we save more girls, much faster. Until then, aluta continua. Keep up the fight. #CommitmentToHumanity

We just have to see FGM for what it is. Torture. Inhuman. Violence. Violation of rights- of bodily integrity, of women and girls to have their organs uncut and to live a life without the resultant pain and suffering. #EndFGM should be our mission- all of us. #CommitmentToHumanity
We are delighted to be supporting @sahiyovoices' upcoming campaign "Faces For Change", alongside @equalitynow & @GHS. Follow us and Sahiyo for updates, & to hear experiences of the brave women who've shared their stories around female genital cutting. Together, we can #endfgc
It's not true. We have many Muslims dominated countries which do not practice fgm at all. Even Saudi Arabia where we go for Hajj don't practice it. It is just a deep rooted culture that was inherited from Firaun (Pharaoh) FGM has no basis in Islam! #FGMNotMyReligion #EndFGM
@SadearH But I hear FGM was ordained by the Prophet Muhammad.How true is this?Widely practiced by the Somali community which is predominantly muslim
Decisions around cutting are often made at a household level, but it takes a whole community to support abandonment of the practice. Read Finda Balde's story about how her village chose to #EndFGC #dayoffamilies bit.ly/2vMggv2
Every day is a #MothersDay I salute all mothers who work 24/7 without leave or off. But today I celebrate all mothers who are #FGM survivors, but decided not to cut their daughters without fear. Indeed you are my Heroines for fighting community stigma! #EndFGM/C #SurvivorsEndFGM
As we Muslims go for Holly month of Ramadan, let's remember that many girls are at risk of going through FGM. I urge everyone to save girls even if it's one from the cut. Ending FGM is my responsibility, is yours? #FGMNotMyReligion #ItTakesUsAllKe to #EndFGM #SurvivorsEndFGM
Idris Dahir rescued a girl from FGM at Bilbil village in Tanariver. He convinced a mother not to cut her daughter because what she was about to do would have changed the girl's life forever. The role of men & boys towards ending #FGM is key. #ItTakesUsAllKe to #EndFGM #MenENDFGM
