Ending Female Genital Mutilation: An Investment in The Future
UNFPA-UNICEF Joint Programme to Eliminate FGM
Highlights
Over 200 million girls and women have been subjected to FGM in 30 countries. Across these 30 countries, the prevalence of FGM has dropped by about one third over the past three decades. Yet, without concerted and accelerated actions, another 68 million girls are likely to be cut by 2030 due to population growth.
Ending FGM is a matter of human rights and gender equality. It impacts health, development and our common future.
The UNFPA-UNICEF Joint Programme is the world’s largest response to eliminate FGM.
