On this #ZeroToleranceDay, FAWE Tanzania stands firm in its commitment to ending Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) and promoting the rights and well-being of women and girls across the nation. FGM remains a grave violation of human rights, causing lifelong physical and psychological harm to millions of girls worldwide.

Through advocacy, education, and community engagement, FAWE Tanzania works to challenge harmful traditional practices and empower girls to claim their rights. By collaborating with local leaders, policymakers, and grassroots organizations, the organization continues to drive meaningful change in communities where FGM is still practiced.

Ending FGM requires collective action. FAWE Tanzania urges all stakeholders, parents, educators, religious leaders, and government officials to unite in the fight against this harmful practice. Awareness-raising campaigns, legal reinforcement, and providing alternative rites of passage for girls are essential steps toward eradicating FGM.

Together, we can create a future where every girl can grow up healthy, educated, and free from violence. Let’s stand in solidarity to protect our girls and support their journey toward a safer and brighter future.
