If Iran and Egypt don't like it, then they don't have to participate.
Why are Egypt, the world champion of #FemaleGenitalMutilation, #FGM, and Iran, an openly misogynistic state, even allowed to participate in international tournaments?
#PrideMatch, men's #FIFAWorldcup

Egypt and Somalia are world champions in #femaleGenitalMutilation, #FGM. This disqualifies both countries as partners of the EU. But when it comes to institutionalized #sexism, the EU is also blind.
That's unbelievably disgusting!

#FemaleGenitalMutilation is a human rights violation & a heinous form of violence against women & girls. On #ZeroToleranceDay, let’s be clear: FGM must be universally condemned & eradicated.

Sister Fa: „Ich nutze meine Musik, um Tabus zu brechen“ Interview mit der Rapperin und Musikerin Fatou Mandiang Diatta alias Sister Fa, die sich gegen die weibliche Genitalbeschneidung einsetzt.

🧵 Der 6. Februar ist der Internationale Tag gegen weibliche Genitalverstümmelung (kurz: FGM/C für #FemaleGenitalMutilation or Cutting).
