Ending FGM IN

Mauritania

The next of the revolutionary Born Perfect FGM Caravans – described as the “single best chance of ending FGM by 2030” – will start in Mauritania in 2027.

As seen in Guinea-Bissau, Sierra Leone, Kenya, and Somalia, the Born Perfect Caravans will take Mauritania. Led by frontline women, a united rally of influencers, and a large film screen will travel across FGM hotspots with one message: Girls are Born Perfect

FGM remains highly prevalent in Mauritania, with a national rate of 72%. High-prevalence regions see rates exceeding 90%. However, there is hope as the Act against FGM movement (MAC-MGF) works tirelessly since 2020 to raise awareness about the dangers of FGM, promote its abandonment, and support survivors.

Success rates of the caravans are reaching 97% attitude change.
