OPINION - Ten years ago I began my campaign against FGM — now we’re winning
On February 6, 2003, Stella Obasanjo, the then First Lady of Nigeria and spokesperson for the Campaign Against Female Genital Mutilation, made the official declaration on “Zero Tolerance to FGM” in Africa during a conference organised by the Inter-African Committee on Traditional Practices. Since that day, activists, world leaders and communities across the world come together every year to seek an end to FGM.
