THE FINAL CUT
We can end female genital mutilation (FGM)
Over 200 million women and girls worldwide are living as survivors of female genital mutilation (FGM). Each day 39,000 girls become child brides and 8,000 girls undergo FGM; which is often a precursor to early marriage. Over 650 million women worldwide today were married before the age of 18, with an estimated 12 million more girls being married each year. An additional 120 million girls are at risk of being married by 2030 if current rates continue. And an additional 68 million more girls are at risk of undergoing the practice by 2030
