📢FGM is patriarchy at work!

It needs to be addressed along with other forms of VAW that affect women & girls, often multiple times in their lifetime.

This #25novembre, we work to create a world free from violence for ALL💪

FGM causes long-lasting physical, emotional and psychological consequences to women and girls.

#EndFGM will remain a top priority for @EU_Commission in 2022.

#WorkProgramme includes a Recommendation to prevent harmful practices against women and girls.

Great news🎉
@Europarl_EN adopted the proposal to identify #GBV as an EU crime listed in Article 83(1) TFEU!

This is a historic step ahead and will allow for common standards&sanctions to be put in place across the EU towards the eradication of GBV.
