To protect all children from forced, non-religious genital mutilation.

A world where all children are free from the harm of forced, non-religious genital mutilation.

We primarily serve those at risk of or affected by forced, non-religious genital mutilation, families seeking to protect their children’s bodily integrity, and advocates for children’s rights and bodily autonomy.

Our decision-making is guided by three principles: we base our positions on evidence, we ground our words in empathy, and we align our actions with the best interests of our beneficiaries.
