How anti-trans policies are disrupting efforts to prevent genital mutilation
A leading women's rights campaigner has spoken to FRANCE 24 about how she was subjected to female genital mutilation at the age of just seven in her home country of The Gambia. Fatou Baldeh explained that although the procedure was a horrific personal experience, it was seen as the norm when she was growing up. But later, when studying in Scotland, she became more aware of what had happened to her. She has now returned to The Gambia and is the founder and CEO of Women in Liberation and Leadership. She talked to us on Perspective ahead of International Women's Day this coming weekend.
Female genital mutilation a reality in Europe.
Female genital mutilation (FGM) is a reality in Europe: 600,000 girls and women, mainly from Africa and Asia, have been been subjected to it. Worldwide, the figure is at 230 million.

#FemaleGenitalMutilation is a human rights violation & a heinous form of violence against women & girls. On #ZeroToleranceDay, let’s be clear: FGM must be universally condemned & eradicated. Every girl deserves to live free from all forms of violence & discrimination.
