All member states of the United Nations have jointly agreed the target on Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) set out in Sustainable Development Goals; to eliminate FGM by 2030.
The UK government is committed to supporting African efforts to achieve this shared goal, and last month we were proud to announce a new £50 million package to support an African-led movement to end to FGM by 2030 – the biggest single investment by an international donor.
