Tadwein for Gender Studies announces the launch of a new campaign named (#Mayenfaash) to combat FGM. The campaign is coinciding with the International Day Against Female Genital Mutilation, February 6th, 2018. FGM is a form of violence that is practiced against women and girls. According to the World Health Organization, FGM is defined as “any operation that includes the partial or total removal of the female genitalia”. In May 2005, the idea of Global Zero Tolerance for FGM was initiated through the activities of the Conference of the African International Committee on Traditional Practices Affecting the Health of Women and Children.
