Our Direct Path to Ending FGM

Frontline Ending FGM is Africa’s largest network of grassroots activists, dedicated to eradicating Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) through locally-led, region-specific, and cost-effective initiatives. While only a fraction of global funding reaches these vital frontlines, we bridge this critical gap, ensuring direct support for community-led campaigns across 15 African countries. We empower local activists to drive lasting change and save girls from this harmful practice, making every action swift, effective, and culturally resonant.

Donor governments and philanthropists have invested $275 million to end FGM, yet less than 2% of that has actually reached the frontline (Orchid 2023). It’s time to fund the frontline directly.
