Happy Women’s Day to all! This year with the theme of “DigitALL: Innovation and technology for gender equality” - we are looking through the digital archives of photos from a bygone era, highlighting the ordinary yet extraordinary women throughout the history of the Maldives
"I say,
It’s in the reach of my arms,
The span of my hips,
The stride of my step,
The curl of my lips.
I’m a #woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That’s me." #MayaAngelou
💐 Happy #WomensHistoryMonth

“Ending female genital mutilation (#FGM) globally is unachievable unless efforts are significantly stepped up across #Asia, where FGM remains widely unaddressed despite occurring in at least ten countries.”

While previous studies have shown that FGM practices have not been eradicated from the Maldives, it is imperative that the state make efforts to determine the level of its prevalence. Up to date data is necessary to devise preventive actions. #EndFGM
The practice & promotion of FGM is not only an act of growing sexual violence against women & girls, but it's also evidence to the increasing regression of the rights we've worked for-to the growing Islamic radicalisation & political conservatism that further divides our society.
Most women are subjected to this abuse at birth and forced to live with the dangerous consequences for the rest of their lives. Although FGM within age groups 1-15 has decreased, rising extremism has brought this abhorrent practice back into society.

#EndFGM
On International Day of Zero Tolerance against #FGM, we call on all authorities in the Maldives to ban the practice & provide a safe environment for girls to grow up in a dignified, healthy and fulfilling life
On International Day of Zero Tolerance for #FGM, we restate the call for urgent, global & multi-sectoral action to #EndFGM raised by @ENDFGM_Network, @USEndFGMNetwork & Equality Now in the 2020 report - ‘FGM/C: A Call for a Global Response’.
