Protect the FGM Ban, Protect the Girls!

Protect the FGM Ban, Protect the Girls!

Avaaz


Girls in The Gambia as young as four months old are blindfolded, pinned down, and forced to have their genitals cut off — and soon this horror could be completely legal.
Gambian politicians want to reverse the country’s ban on female genital mutilation.
FGM survivors are trying to save the ban and protect the girls who haven’t been cut yet.
Those brave women are asking us to join the fight with a massive global outcry.
We have less than 90 days to act, so sign now and Avaaz will work with Gambian groups to bring our voices to the decision-makers!
