UN Zero Tolerance of FGM Day, 6th February
An estimated 140 million women and girls alive today have suffered Female Genital Mutilation (FGM). That’s 2 million girls a year – or 5,500 a day – are put through this excruciating and dangerous procedure.
Today, 6th February, marks the UN International Day of Zero Tolerance to FGM. Plan projects are helping to educate people about the dangers of FGM and discouraging them from passing on this harmful practice.

I am here to care for the others and defend the weak, vulnerable ones. I am here to encourage others and think big. Dream big, do not let anybody make you feel small.

I am a sister to care my siblings, care my grand parents, care my parents, in-laws, husband, grand daughters and relatives
