2021

The theme of the International Day of Zero Tolerance for Female Genital Mutilation (6 February) in 2021 was "the time for global inaction is over; let us unite, finance and act to end female genital mutilation", emphasized that nothing, not even COVID-19, should be an excuse for the absence, slowness or reduction of human, material and financial efforts to pursue and strengthen actions to promote the elimination of female genital mutilation. This theme calls on Burkina Faso's actors and partners to commit themselves resolutely to supporting not only the implementation of the African Union Champion's action plan against this practice, but also to mobilising resources for the implementation of a new national reference system to promote the elimination of FGM.
