Sign the petition to stop female genital cutting
Female genital cutting, also called female circumcision, has affected more than 135 million women and girls worldwide. Complications from FGC can include severe bleeding, infection, long-term difficulties with intercourse and childbirth, and even death.

Working with community leaders, CARE has already made progress in ending female genital cutting. Now we need the help of people like you. By signing this petition today, you’ll be raising awareness and taking a stand to stop the painful practice of female genital cutting. Fill out the form below to send your petition today!

Full Petition Text:
I am signing this petition to take a stand against the practice of female genital cutting. Nearly 2 million young girls are at risk of female genital cutting this year alone. We must do all we can to encourage the communities where this practice takes place to put a stop to it.

Together with CARE and concerned people across the world, we will do all we can to save these girls from a lifetime of pain and suffering.
