6 of February 2009 - International Zero Tolerance Day against FGM/C
This press rooms will keep track of the various events that will mark the 2009 celebration of the Zero Tolerance Day against femal genital mutilation/cutting.
Based on a proposal by the Inter-African Committee on Traditional
practices affecting the health of women and children, the 6th of
February was adopted by the International community working for the
abandonment of FGM/C as a commemoration for its commitment to not
tolerate anylonger this violation of the human rights of women and
girls.
The day has therefore been named "Zero Tolerance Day", and
each year since 2004 a number of organisations use this day to raise
awareness on the need to move forward on the path leading to a world
where FGM/C will only be a memory of the past.
