Dear Daughter Campaign
The Dear Daughter Campaign is a campaign against Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) in Somalia and around the world rooted in the principle of personal empowerment. By pledging not to cut their daughters, parents are not only protecting them from the negative consequences of the practice but also respecting their bodily autonomy. When others bear witness to that promise, they too are inspired to make the pledge: A future free of Female Genital Mutilation for the Dear Daughters of Somalia.
