Adolescents and Youth’s perspectives on the issue of Female Genital Cutting.

Over 230 million girls and women worldwide have undergone Female Genital Cutting (FGC), yet the voices of those most affected—children, adolescents, and youth—are too often missing from the conversations shaping solutions. Since 2021, Global Fund for Children has supported adolescent girls, boys, and youth across Africa to organize, challenge harmful social norms, and promote gender justice through the Adolescent Girls Summit platform. In the lead-up to the third Adolescent Girls Summit (March 31–April 3, 2026, Yamoussoukro, Côte d’Ivoire), this webinar—marking the International Day of Zero Tolerance for FGC—aimed to amplify adolescent and youth perspectives from West Africa. It highlighted adolescent and youth-led solutions and underscore the importance of inclusive, intergenerational dialogue that meaningfully influences policies and practices affecting their lives.
