Today, @UNFPALiberia joined partners to call for stern actions against the practice of Female Genital Mutilation (FGM).⚠️FGM has nothing to do with healthcare. It offers no benefit and carries serious health risks. The impact of FGM doesn’t fade. Join UNFPA in calling to #EndFGM.

Millions of women and girls are at risk of FGM every day. No one should ever be subjected to it. Join the global movement with UNFPA and partners to #EndFGM. Read more about the implications of FGM here: unf.pa/fgm26
