One Million Voices Against FGM

At 86%, Sudan has one of the highest prevalence rates of the worst type of FGM in Africa despite efforts to stop it since the 1940's by the British, by doctors and by NGO's. Even the current regime - with poor record on women's rights - has taken actions funded by international donors. But progress is slow and erratic. Sudan's population is getting younger, urban and educated providing a unique opportunity to significantly speed up the abandonment of FGM through youth leadership.
