International Day of Zero Tolerance of Female Genital Mutilation

is celebrated on February 6th each year since 2003.


FGM/C is the act of hurting a female regardless of her age; fragile, innocent and beautiful.


Amnesty International - uses a rose to simulate genital mutilation

"Every year, two million girls suffer the pain of genital mutilation – a clear violation of their human rights." No government should continue to ignore this crime. Help us to stop violence against women. Give your support at http://www.amnesty.org/en

  1. When in February is the zero tolerance celebrated? Or is it the whole month?
