Therefore, Tadwein called on several civil society organizations to join efforts and reform the \u201cTask Force Against FGM.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Task Force was re-established at a founding conference held on February 6, 2018, to strengthen the role of civil society and support joint efforts to end FGM.<\/p>\n

The Task Force aims to:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Change social beliefs about FGM and strengthen the protection of girls.<\/li>\n
  2. Support legal reform, monitor the implementation of laws, and provide legal assistance.<\/li>\n
  3. Promote comprehensive sexuality education and raise awareness of the risks of FGM in schools.<\/li>\n
  4. Develop a rights-based approach that focuses on the rights and physical and health safety of girls and women.<\/li>\n
  5. Combat the medicalization of FGM and strengthen the role of doctors and professional bodies in preventing it.<\/li>\n
  6. Document the efforts and history of feminist organizations in combating FGM.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
