☪️ Muslim women are too often spoken about, rather than listened to.

They are made hypervisible as symbols, while their individual voices, choices and agency remain invisible. This does not only reinforce Islamophobia; it also shapes how gender-based violence, including female ge***al mutilation, is understood and addressed.

🇪🇺 For End FGM EU, challenging FGM must go hand in hand with challenging the racism, stereotypes and power structures that affect women and girls. Effective change cannot be built through narratives that portray communities only as victims or exclude them from decisions that concern their lives.

As Esraa Newir, youth activist and End FGM EU ambassador, reminds us: affected communities must not only be included in conversations, they must lead them.

This post is part of a new series where our Ambassadors take over our social media channels to share their perspectives, experiences and insights on the issues that matter to them, and that deserve our collective attention.

Today, we’re highlighting an encouraging development from Nigeria in efforts to end FGM. 🇳🇬

Did you know that Female Ge***al Mutilation in Ebonyi State has decreased from 74% in 2024 to 20.4% in 2026?

This important accomplishment was announced by Dr. Douglas Ogbueli, representative of the World Health Organization (WHO) during the Ebonyi Women’s Leadership Summit on FGM in Abakaliki.

Mary-Maudline Uzoamaka Nwifuru, the First Lady of Ebonyi State declared zero tolerance for Female Ge***al Mutilation, urging local government officials to guarantee its elimination and lawmakers to increase public awareness campaigns throughout the state.

Every step towards ending FGM is worth celebrating and progress like this reminds us that change is possible.

🇪🇺 As Ireland took on the Presidency of the Council of the European Union on 1 July 2026, there is a critical opportunity to turn commitments on gender equality into meaningful action.

The End FGM European Network is calling on the Irish Presidency of the Council of the EU 2026 to strengthen the EU’s response to gender-based violence, including female ge***al mutilation (FGM) from protecting women and girls at risk within asylum and migration systems to improving EU-wide data, ensuring sustainable funding, strengthening civil society participation and reaffirming the EU’s commitment to ending FGM worldwide. 🇮🇪 Ireland’s Presidency has an opportunity to show that values and security are not mutually exclusive.

⭐ Even the Presidency logo carries a message about equality: the story of Mary Parsons and Mary Ward reminds us why women’s contributions to science, technology and society must no longer be obscured.

On , we celebrate young people not only as the leaders of tomorrow, but as the changemakers shaping our world today.

At End FGM EU, young people connected to FGM-affected communities are speaking up, leading conversations and influencing decisions from the European Parliament to international advocacy spaces, such as EWAG (European Week of Action for Girls) or Women Deliver.

Through our Ambassadors Programme, we are committed to creating spaces where young people can strengthen their skills, amplify their voices and advocate for a world free from violence against women and girls. Learn more here: https://endfgm.eu/who-we-are/youth-ambassadors-2025-2027/

Because solutions that affect young people’s lives must be shaped with them, not for them. This we would like to thank and celebrate Alimat Babatunde, Bassmala Morkaz, Esraa Newir, Fatima Rafael, Passie Kengne Kuetche, Rediat lencho Dekebo, Riham Ibrahim, Saarrah Ray and Samsam Hassan Mohamed.

Today, May 28th, is the

Female Ge***al Mutilation is a violation of human rights that can lead to lifelong physical, psychological, and sexual health consequences for women and girls. Taking action for women’s health means defending their dignity, bodily autonomy, and right to accessible and equitable healthcare.

Today, we also highlight the work of our member organisation in France, Réparons l'excision, which provides specialised medical care, mental health support, and holistic services for women and girls affected by FGM.
www.reparonslexcision.org

Strengthening healthcare systems and supporting specialised professionals are essential steps towards ending FGM and ensuring that all women and girls are heard, respected, and safe.

This Mother’s Day, we honour the mothers who had the courage to break the cycle. 💜

Mothers like Ana, who made the brave decision to protect their daughters and future generations from female ge***al mutilation.
Ending FGM also means listening to survivors, amplifying their stories, and supporting the women leading change in their communities.

Read Ana’s testimony and other survivors’ stories in our global report “The Time Is Now: End Female Ge***al Mutilation/Cutting, An Urgent Need for Global Response”: https://www.endfgm.eu/resources/reports/fgmc-a-call-for-a-global-response-global-report-2025/

This post is part of our 2026 campaign, highlighting the role everyone can play in ending FGM and the need to turn care into action. Learn more about our campaign:

🇪🇺 On , we ask a simple question: does the EU truly care about ending female ge***al mutilation?

Through our advocacy work with the hashtag initiative, we connected with Members of the European Parliament who show their support by speaking out against FGM in political spaces, amplifying our messages on social media, and attending our events. But most importantly, they are proposing, drafting and voting laws that directly affect the lives of FGM ad GBV survivors and those at risk.

Everyone has an individual role to play in contributing to the elimination of FGM. But EU must act with determination through its institutions and be held accountable for its actions.

If the EU cares to end fgm, here is what it needs to do:
- Fully implement key legislation such as the Istanbul Convention and the Directive on combating violence against women and domestic violence
- Support civil society organisations including the community-led, grassroots and co-create policies and practices that work
- Ensure that the next MFF 2028-2034 truly delivers for women’s rights, support for GBV Survivors and prevention of GBV within the EU and beyond, with adequate allocation of resources and earmarked funds
- Uphold human rights, operationalise intersectionality and effectively contain the devastating effects of the anti-rights movement

Europe was built not only as a political and economic project, but also on the promise of shared human rights and protection for everyone living within and beyond its borders.

✊ Today, we call on the EU to turn its commitments into action. Protecting women and girls requires political will, accountability, and concrete measures to end FGM once and for all.

We welcome the release of the first study on FGM prevalence in Luxembourg by UNICEF. Reliable data is essential for the development of adequate prioritisation of response. 🇱🇺

As the findings report, around 2,200 women and girls are affected, while an estimated 1,100 girls and adolescents are at risk. FGM is a form of gender based violence and as such does not exist in isolation. It must be addressed with concrete measures targeting structural issues, with a focus on prevention, and in line with the provisions of the EU Directive to combat violence against women broader and the Istanbul Convention.

🚫 Luxembourg’s 2025 bill to ban virginity tests and related practices already marked a remarkably positive development in this direction. But continued and coordinated development with rights-based responses is still needed with civil society actors, affected communities and experts across the board.

End FGM EU remains committed to supporting actors such as Luxembourg, other stakeholders in LU and across the EU in translating these findings into rights-based policies and full implementation of European and International legal frameworks.

We will also continue to engage with key citizen representatives within the initiative , such as Angel, Isabel Wiseler-Lima, Tilly Metz and look forward to increased cooperation with others, Charles Goerens.
