Tackling female genital mutilation through football
Female genital mutilation (FGM) is a common practice in Guinea. Approximately 94.5% of women aged 15-49 in this small African country have been cut (source: 28 Too Many).
UP’s team in Guinea are tackling this complex issue through an unusual method: football. Working in partnership with Tackle Africa, we are using the beautiful game as a channel to deliver essential sexual and reproductive health and rights information to young people.
