FEMA (Female Genital Mutilation) Awareness Organizations

FEMA, or Female Genital Mutilation Awareness Organizations, focus on raising awareness about the harmful practice of female genital mutilation (FGM). FGM involves the partial or complete removal of external female genitalia for non-medical reasons, often rooted in cultural beliefs. These organizations aim to educate communities about the health risks and human rights violations associated with FGM, advocate for the abandonment of the practice, and support survivors. They work globally to promote gender equality and empower women while collaborating with local leaders to foster change and protect girls’ rights to health and safety.
