As more than half of the Egyptian population still supports the continuation of the crime of female genital mutilation and poor societal awareness towards the issue, Tadwein for Gender Studies launched, in conjunction with the International Day of Zero Tolerance for Female Genital Mutilation, a campaign titled “Stop the Myth”. The campaign aimed to clarify the facts behind the major myths about FGM in Egypt.
