Understanding FGM

13. There is hope

We want to end this resource on a positive note. Things are changing and there is hope. Globally survivors are finding their voice and it is being listened to. Women leading campaigns against FGM are succeeding in changing policy across the world and FGM is increasingly being taken seriously as a crime because of their bravery. Community groups are raising awareness at every level and politicians are taking note.

As a result global FGM rates are falling significantly (Uniicef data) although further efforts are still needed especially with religious, community, youth and healthcare workers
