February 6 is observed globally as the International Day of Zero Tolerance for Female Genital Mutilation in 2026. The day serves as a powerful reminder of the urgent need to eliminate FGM, a harmful practice that violates the human rights of women and girls. It draws global attention to the physical, psychological, and social damage caused by FGM and emphasizes collective responsibility. With the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals approaching, the observance highlights the importance of sustained political commitment, adequate funding, strong laws, and community-led action to ensure lasting change and protect girls’ dignity worldwide.
