RISE joins the global community in marking the International Day of Zero Tolerance for Female Genital Mutilation (FGM), reaffirming its commitment to protecting the rights, health, and dignity of girls and women.

FGM is a harmful practice that violates human rights and has long-term physical, psychological, and social consequences. Its elimination is essential for achieving gender equality, safeguarding child rights, and advancing sustainable development.

Ending FGM by 2030 requires sustained commitment, adequate investment, and strong community-led action. At RISE, we work closely with communities, partners, and stakeholders to promote awareness, prevention, education, and empowerment—placing girls’ wellbeing at the center of our interventions.

📚 Books, not blades.
✋ Say no to the cut.
💪 Empower her. End FGM.

Together, we can build a future where every girl grows up safe, educated, and free from harmful practices.
