Get ready to stand up against a harmful practice on International Day of Zero Tolerance to Female Genital Mutilation, observed on February 6.

FGM is a harmful traditional practice that violates human rights and has no health benefits for girls and women. On this day, let's join hands to advocate for gender equality and empower women and girls around the world. Together, we can make a positive impact and end this harmful practice once and for all!
