The fight against female genital mutilation (FGM) in Tanzania is hampered by laxity in the implementation and enforcement of laws, according to a new report released in Dar Es Salaam recently.

theahafoundation.org/ky-takes… Yesterday the Kentucky Senate approved legislation that would ban female genital mutilation (FGM)! The bill will be sent to the House where it will be voted on as the final step to ban FGM in KY. They could become the first state to #BanFGM in 2020!

Over this past weekend, the U.S. Virgin Islands BANNED child marriage. We are so excited about this progress, and can't wait for the remaining 48 states to follow suit. #BanChildMarriage #ProtectAllChildren twitter.com/stxjej/status/…

theahafoundation.org/bill-ban… We are starting our #BanFGM2020 campaign STRONG. Our bill to ban FGM in Kentucky was unanimously voted out of committee and is being sent to the Senate! We are hopeful this bill will pass soon, adding protections for 1,800 girls just in Kentucky!
