Today FCDO Minister Anneliese Dodds will meet survivors of FGM to discuss what more the UK can do to accelerate progress to bring this violation of rights to an end. #EndFGM @fcdoinclusion.bsky.social
Today is the International Day to #EndFGM
Female genital mutilation (FGM) is an extreme form of discrimination, violates #HumanRights, and leads to serious health harms for millions of women and girls.
It must be prevented! bit.ly/3WNPkYm

That’s the Equal Rights Coalition in Berlin wrapped up. A heartening coming together of over 45 member states and 200+ CSOs. But we are running headlong towards a precipice of funding cuts for organisations on the front line, as rights for LGBT+ people are under extreme and ever-increasing threat.

Important to be part of this delegation demonstrating UK commitment to protect LGBT+ rights at this worrying moment in time. It’s great to have our delegation led by Dame Andrea Eagle, a long standing champion.

Two very committed Ministers (for the price of one!) kick started 16 days of Activism to End Violence Against Women - Home Office Minister @jessphillipsmp.bsky.social and FCDO International Development Minister Anneliese Dodds. A small snippet of a much greater effort both at home and overseas.
