The International Day of Zero Tolerance for Female Genital Mutilation was observed on February 6, 2025. This day raises awareness about the harmful practice of Female Genital Mutilation (FGM), which is a violation of human rights affecting millions of girls and women globally. The 2025 theme, “Step Up the Pace,” highlights the importance of strengthening alliances and increasing efforts to eliminate FGM by 2030. Despite a decline in global prevalence over the past three decades, millions of girls remain at risk, particularly in regions affected by conflict, climate change, and disease outbreaks.
