In our unwavering commitment to eradicating Harmful Practices, we, the global youth community, unite to demand immediate and concerted action Harmful Practices like Female Genital Mutilation (FGM). FGM is a grave violation of human rights that inflicts severe physical and psychological harm on women and girls. UNFPA estimates 68 million girls are at risk of being mutilated between 2015 and 2030.
Our Vision is Young People Leading a World Free of FGM by 2030.
Our Mission is to meaningfully engage Young People from all regions, languages, and races at all levels for a concerted effort to accelerate the abandonment of FGM in this generation.

End FGM by 2030
The Global Youth Consortium (GYC) against Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) is a youth movement with representation in 55 countries with the sole vision of achieving a world free of female genital mutilation by 2030. The Consortium (GYC) Structure works closely with UNFPA-UNICEF Joint Program on the Elimination of FGM to ensure that young people are meaningfully engaged in the advocacy against FGM. Through advocacy, partnership, and lobbying, the consortium is disrupting social norms and creating safe spaces for women and girls.
The Consortium was created after the Dakar Declaration where young people from across the globe met in Senegal in November 2021, and on the 8th of February 2022, the Global Youth Consortium was launched.
