Joining forces for zero tolerance for FGM in west and central Africa

Several international conventions prohibit female genital mutilation (FGM) such as the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW), and the African Charter on Human and Peoples' Rights (Banjul Charter), among others.
