Petition The awareness of FGM (female genital mutilation) to increase in schools.

FGM is the practice of partially or totally removing the external genitalia. Until recently I had no idea what FGM was. i had no idea that girls all around the world could be suffering from FGM. When people explained it to me I was horrified.

More details

Due to this more awareness should be given to students. This could help stop the practice of FGM in this country completely. FGM is still a big problem here even though it is illegal.
