This year’s theme is Accelerating Investment to End Female Genital Mutilation

investing in programmes to provide services and response for those affected and those at risk and in developing and enforcing laws and fortifying institutional capacity to address eradicating female genital mutilation. Empowering girls, too, with access to education, health care and income opportunities, can accelerate the demise of this harmful practice with no known medical or health benefits. --> https://www.unfpa.org/events/international-day-zero-tolerance-female-genital-mutilation
