2013 Annual Report of FGM Joint Programme: Accelerating Change
<p>The UNFPA-UNICEF Joint Programme &quot;Female Genital Mutilation/Cutting: Accelerating Change&rdquo; was developed in 2007 to protect girls and women by accelerating abandonment of FGM/C and providing care for its consequences. The Programme&#39;s novel, culturally sensitive, human rights-based approach strategically leverages social dynamics in favor of abandonment. It was implemented in 15 African countries from 2008 to 2013.</p>
Rising Up for Rights for Women and Girls
<p>In Senegal, the movement to end female genital mutilation/cutting is reaching the most remote places. On the sandy roads of the Fouta region and along the river, the information about the problems caused by the traditional practice circulates, inspiring people in dozens of villages to rise up in support of women&rsquo;s and girls&rsquo; health.<br />&nbsp;</p>
