Combatting Female Genital Mutilation

Equilibres & Populations is a non-governmental organization founded in 1993 by doctors and journalists to advocate a better use of development aid by mobilising French, European and francophone public opinion and decision-makers on priorities and initiatives in favour of health and education in general, and of women and girls in particular.

The overall purpose of the project "Protecting the Next Generation" is to contribute to the elimination of female genital mutilation practices, and more generally to advocate women's rights and health in the district of Kayes in Mali.
