Welcome to “STOP FGM NOW!”. Thank you for taking an interest in female genital mutilation, FGM. Over three million girls a year still have their genitals mutilated today, not only in Africa and Asia, but also in Europe, the USA and Australia. The campaign, “STOP FGM NOW!” unites associations, companies and private individuals in an effort to put an end to this barbarous crime. Here you can find out more about the background of our campaign and see how you can help.
