The Forum Against Harmful Practices has emerged as a pivotal platform in the ongoing fight against female genital mutilation (FGM), recognizing the contributions of women who have tirelessly advocated for its eradication. The awards presented by this forum to exceptional women like Dr Aisha Fofana-Ibrahim and UN Women , serve not only to honor these individuals but also to raise awareness about FGM and its detrimental impact on women’s health and rights. By spotlighting their efforts, the forum emphasizes the need for collective action against harmful practices that violate fundamental human rights.
