#FGM is an abuse of #humanrights of girls and women. It also exacts a crippling economic cost on health systems, as this @WHO @HRPresearch data shows #EndFGM #Act2EndFGM: https://t.co/e46wvbuWFl

Meet Hamda, an activist, nurse and midwife working to #ENDFGM. Her story is an inspiring example of how health workers, empowered with cultural, medical and psychosocial knowledge, can be agents of change: https://t.co/YVCT4qlaQX

Prevention and treatment of #FGM are integral elements in @WHO's compendium of recommended interventions for #UHC

[HRP @HRPresearch]

“Changing the future for #FGM is our wish, but it has a long vision.” Meet Fardawsa, a #publichealth/reproductive health specialist, and let her explain how she stays motivated to #EndFGM in her community: https://t.co/ebgVUQqqvm

[Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus @DrTedros]

Today is International Day of Zero Tolerance for Female Genital Mutilation (FGM).

At least 200 million women and girls alive today have experienced FGM. It is an extreme form of discrimination against women, violates human rights, and has NO health benefits.

We must #EndFGM!

New @WHO @HRPresearch shows how much money could be saved on treating health consequences of FGM, if it were to be abandoned : https://t.co/tWa57qyTv7 #EndFGM #ZeroToleranceDay

[Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus @DrTedros]

On this International Day of Zero Tolerance for Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) @Atayeshe, @unicefchief, @phumzileunwomen & I call for renewed urgency to stop FGM by the end of the decade.
Now is the time to do more & do better to #EndFGM once and for all. https://t.co/5SZ8hG1KQS

[World Health Organization (WHO) @WHO]

@WHOEMRO @WHOWPRO @pahowho @WHOSEARO @WHOAFRO @WHO_Europe @DrTedros @UNICEF If no action is taken to #EndFGM, it is estimated that the costs of treating health consequences will soar by 50% by 2050 ➡️ https://t.co/rshLphVjOK

https://t.co/BDs45I0be6

[World Health Organization (WHO) @WHO]

@WHOEMRO @WHOWPRO @pahowho @WHOSEARO @WHOAFRO @WHO_Europe @DrTedros For individual countries, these treatment costs would amount to near 10% of their entire yearly expenditure on health on average; in some countries, this rises to as much as 30% https://t.co/rshLphVjOK
