"@UnfpaEgypt and @UNICEF_Egypt with @Egyptgov developed the National Investment Framework for Girls in Egypt, which targets adolescent girls and contributes to the efforts to #EndFGM through a holistic approach that put girls' needs at the center," @mayelsallab, UNFPA Egypt

“Adolescent girls can lead the way. They are 50 percent more likely to oppose #FGM than their mothers.”

Fayza Nadi, who used to advocate for #FGM, now reaches out to mothers so that they don't cut their daughters.
The change happened once she found out the -ve impacts of FGM & that it has no basis in religion
Fayza is grateful to the church for sharing info around FGM harms

This is done by applying gender transformative approaches to support men and boys become change agents in their communities.
