## Caption

To end female genital mutilation/cutting (FGM/C), we need to break the culture of silence. FGM/C refers to all procedures that involve the partial or total removal of the external female genitalia, or other injury to the female genital organs for non-medical reasons. Over 200 million women and girls worldwide have been affected by FGM/C, and 3 million are at risk of being cut each year.

FGM/C is a violation of human rights. Protecting girls and women from the health risks and emotional trauma associated with FGM/C requires coordinated efforts among diverse stakeholders, led by impacted communities. We're working to make this happen through the the Minnesota Female Genital Cutting Prevention and Outreach Project. #EndFGM
