Female Genital Mutilation (FGM)

African Initiative Program and Development aims to secure women’s lives. 

We serve our mothers, daughters, and sisters by working together with anti-FGM campaigns. 

We emphasize training school administration, students, and police on the tricks of identifying women at risk and providing solutions to intervene.

The way you get meaning into your life is to devote yourself to loving others, devote yourself to your community around you, and devote yourself to creating something that gives you purpose and meaning.
– Mitch Albom

The removal of external female genital or any other injury to the women’s genital organs for non-medical reasons is called Female Genital Mutilation (FGM). 

Studies show that more than 200 million females, including women and young girls in almost 30 states, have experienced FGM, with the FGM undergoing rate up to 3 million each year. 

FGM leads to dreadful, life-threatening instantaneous, and long-standing problems, including infections, hemorrhage, psychological issues, urinary, menstrual, and sexual complications.

FGM is a human rights violation, a form of violence and discrimination against females. It is most often conducted on girls between infancy and age 15, though adult women are also subjected.
