Reading about this one can be shocking, but it’s important to open our eyes to what is happening. Genital mutilation is still a common practice in many cultures around the world, and is a violation of human and reproductive rights. Furthermore, it is often practiced in third-world communities that do not have the tools to do it in a safe manner, putting the lives of women at risk for this inhumane tradition. The Orchid Project partners with grassroots organizations and leaders to increase awareness, change policies, educate communities, and create a movement that hopefully ushers us towards a world with no more female genital cutting.
