Izla @plansverige speaks on #FemaleGenitalMutilation and the life effects & the pain many continue to suffer (both mentally & physically). @plansverige

this problem worldwide. It also touches women in Sweden, despite being outlawed since 1982. There is a need for the appropriate education within healthcare in Sweden & for all people who are living with the effects of #FGM @plansverige

I am deeply saddened by the news of the devastating earthquakes in Türkiye & Syria, and offer my heartfelt condolences to the families of the victims. The @UN stands ready to support emergency response efforts.

Today is International Day of Zero Tolerance for FGM/C, a global practice affecting at least 200 million women & girls in 96+ countries. We must work w/ children, young people, parents, community leaders, & government authorities to #EndFGM @PlanGlobal plan-international.org/publications/f…
