In the US we educate anyone interested in learning about Female Genital Mutilation, its human rights violations and complexities as experienced by men and women in Sierra Leone.

In Sierra Leone we work on various programs to improve basic conditions and build an effective institution that respects human rights and aims to abolish the harmful practice of female genital mutilation - FGM
