Today is International Day of Zero Tolerance to Female Genital Mutilation

Today is the 12th anniversary of the United Nations’ International Day of Zero Tolerance for Female Genital Mutilation.

This year’s focus is to partnership with men & boys to transform social and gender norms to end female genital mutilation.

Today, men and boys are more educated and receptive to change than before, and in some countries, they are more likely to disapprove of female genital mutilation and domestic violence than women and girls, Unicef writes.

So, let’s partner with men and boys, without detracting the focus from women and girls, to ensures everybody’s support and to invest in promoting the elimination of female genital mutilation!
