Young girls have tried to escape like this girl Hani* whose mother made her undergo #fgm . We must look at why families & communities encourage and why others, including religious leaders work against it.@PlanGlobal @plansverige
#fgm requires norms change to stop. Sadia from @PlanGlobal Somalia office explains all the work the office is doing for legal reforms. Just as importantly the work to change gender norms around #FGM .
this problem worldwide. It also touches women in Sweden, despite being outlawed since 1982. There is a need for the appropriate education within healthcare in Sweden & for all people who are living with the effects of #FGM @plansverige
Plan International condemns all forms of FGM. The practice has no health benefits and is a violation of the human rights of girls and women, including their sexual and reproductive health. For more on our position, see here 👇 #EndFGM #EndGBV.

'Qatar is the 10th largest landowner in Britain. In the runup to the World Cup, the value of Qatar’s gifts to British MPs was greater than the amount spent by all the other 15 countries whose governments made donations to British MPs *combined*. '
'By all means boycott the football, but we could also follow the trail of gifts, property and arms deals closer to home.'

Girls are often the first to be taken out of school, and the last to eat when food runs low. Unless action is taken now, more lives will be lost and the devastating effects on the lives of children, especially girls, will be felt for decades to come.
