Over 200 million girls and women alive today have undergone Female Genital Mutilation (FGM), a practice that can cause severe health issues and trauma. Each year, 12 million girls are married before the age of 18, disrupting their education and increasing health risks. Girls who marry young are more likely to experience complications during childbirth, contributing to higher maternal mortality rates. Educating communities and empowering girls can help end these practices. Join Hayat Initiative in our mission to protect and empower girls.
