A Voice Is Heard

Two million additional cases of female ge***al mutilation could occur over the next decade due to Covid. The pandemic left many girls more vulnerable to this practice with shuttered schools and lack of program resources. We stand with the UN, the world, and our girls to help eradicate FGM. Over the years AVIH found alternative ways to celebration “Coming of Age” without the cut and giving girls in Maasai communities a voice. Today is “The International Day Of Zero Tolerance For Female Ge***al Mutilation.” Let us not forget our girls around the world and bring awareness to create change against this violation of girls’ and women’s health and human rights.
