Female genital mutilation is a form of violence against women. Philomène is 21 years old and lives in the city of Koupela in Burkina Faso. As a member of the local youth movement she speaks out against this injustice. 

Female genital mutilation (FGM) comprises all procedures that involve altering or injuring the female genitalia for non-medical reasons. It’s a harmful practice and a form of violence against women.

Enabel is engaged in the fight to end FGM once and for all and brings its support to the #16daysofactivism against gender-based violence.
