30 million women have undergone Female Ge***al Mutilation ( ). By the end of 2025, 4.4 million girls could be at risk. Let's unite to eliminate FGM by 2030.

At Institute for Human Rights and Development in Africa (IHRDA), we reaffirm our commitment to the urgent need for strengthening alliances and building powerful movements to eradicate in all its forms. We are dedicated to raising awareness on this harmful practice, and supporting survivors, while calling on States to fulfil their obligations under international law. Together, we can create a world where every woman/girl is free from violence and discrimination. Every action counts!

Did you know that Zimbabwe hosts a unique competition known as Mr. Ugly? William Masvinu, a five-time winner, says his success has brought him fame and a few minor marketing contracts.

Do you think they could be embraced in other countries?
