The day was aim to creat awareness to eradicate female genital mutilation. The abolition of such practices must be prompt.
This is a movement for the rights of women and their bodies, as well as the protection of their physical- health which can be tremendously affected later in life, fighting violence against women and girls as a whole. It is an effort to make the world aware of FGM and promote its eradication. Volunteers will use their resources and voice to protest against FGM in their countries. The young girls went to measures as deep as coming face to face with the one who cut them, to confronting their fathers/authority, to petitioning using resources such as change organ.
