Today, on the International Day of Zero Tolerance for Female Ge***al Mutilation (FGM), I, together with the community at Girlz Empowered, want to reaffirm a message that has stayed with me: laws alone don’t end harmful practices — people do. Real change happens when communities are supported to shift beliefs, have honest conversations, and protect girls together.
For years, Girlz Empowered has been committed to that grassroots work — creating safe spaces for girls to learn, ask questions without fear, and make informed decisions about their health, rights, and future.
Ending FGM means investing in girls, listening to communities, and building trust — one conversation at a time. ✊🏾🇸🇱
