African and Arab women have begun to speak out and we must do all we can to support their efforts. They are working under difficult circumstances and often in hostile social environments for the preservation of a womans health. dignity. and human rights. We must work to support and encourage their efforts to end this violent degradation of female children throughout the world. Primarily. we must join other countries in legally banning FGM. As immigrants from Africa and the Middle East travel to other nations. the practice of FGM travels with them. The United Kingdom. Sweden. and Switzerland have all passed legislation prohibiting FGM in their countries.
