About FGM Zero’s legal fund

  • The anti-FGM legal defense fund aims to address the absence of a dedicated legal fund for combating Female Genital Mutilation (FGM). It focuses on providing financial and legal support for legal cases, policy advocacy, survivor assistance, research initiatives, and capacity building within a legal framework.

  • While various organizations combat FGM through education and advocacy, a specific legal defense fund is lacking. This fund addresses critical legal aspects, ensuring fair representation, policy reforms, and support for survivors involved in FGM-related cases.

  • The fund contributes by providing financial resources for legal representation, supporting policy advocacy efforts, offering survivor support services, funding research initiatives, and investing in capacity building programs. These interventions aim to eliminate FGM and protect at-risk individuals.

  • The fund focuses on four key areas: legal representation, policy advocacy, survivor empowerment, and research and awareness. The fund supports legal cases, lobbying for stronger legislation, offering aid to survivors, and funding research for comprehensive data and awareness campaigns.
