Today is the International Day to #EndFGM Female genital mutilation (FGM) is an extreme form of discrimination, violates #HumanRights, and leads to serious health harms for millions of women and girls. It must be prevented! bit.ly/3WNPkYm

Over 200 million women, including at least 600,000 in Europe, underwent female genital mutilation. On International Day of Zero Tolerance for FGM, let’s be clear: FGM must be universally condemned and eradicated. Together with countries around the globe, we can make it happen ↓ europa.eu/!cqkMDd
