International - all may sign.
>My name is Fatou Baldeh, and when I was a little girl, I was held down on the floor while part of my genitals were cut away.
>It is a moment that changes you forever.
>We won a ban on female genital mutilation in 2015. And, along with Avaaz, we defended it in 2024. But children are still being cut – last year, two baby girls died. Now pro-FGM advocates are attacking the ban again, this time at the Supreme Court.
>The final Court hearing is just three weeks away – it's our last chance to defend the ban. And global pressure combined with the voices of Gambian survivors could make all the difference by pushing the government to stand up for its law and showing the Court that the world is watching.
>Sign now, and I'll work with Avaaz to bring women from all over the country to the hearing to make survivors' voices heard! And we'll flood the capital with ads and news stories so top officials know the world stands with us.
