A five-year UK aid funded programme will also support in-country projects across Africa focusing on stopping FGM
THE UK has made the largest ever donor investment to help end the devastating and harmful practice of female genital mutilation (FGM) by 2030.
International Development Secretary Penny Mordaunt today (Nov 23) announced a new UK aid package to support the African-led movement to end FGM and provide better protections for vulnerable girls in some of the world’s poorest countries.
The announcement comes ahead of the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women on Sunday (Nov 25).
