Stand against FGM in Tanzania

Mutilating the genitals of young girls against their will and marrying them off is customary in northern Tanzania. The Kuria people have believed that partial or full genital cutting turns young girls into adults. Left uncut, girls have been seen as unable to marry or have children. We take a stand to protect these girls. We are fighting for a safe adaptation of this cruel, dangerous ritual. We stand together with the community and the girls themselves. Join our fight.
