My specific area of interest while writing the paper was anti-FGM awareness groups that are trying to reach out to people all over the world to stop FGM. These groups such as, UNICEF, Amnesty International, WE are Women Activists, and IAC are working hard not only to reach women and young girls but men and religious leaders as well. It is important that everyone works together to end this practice that has no real purpose behind it except generations of social traditions. There are groups who want to educate people about FGM using articles and research, groups who want laws and policies to change, and groups who simply want women to share their stories so that people will learn by example. These groups do amazing work and everyone should take a little time to learn about what they are saying because FGM happens to young girls all over the world not just in Somalia.
