Child marriage and female genital mutilation (FGM) remain serious violations of the rights of women and girls.
In this conversation, Equality Now explores where we are globally in efforts to end these practices and why legal reform alone is not enough. Laws are a critical foundation, but real progress also requires effective implementation, prevention efforts, education, and survivor-centred support.
This conversation was recorded during the UN Commission on the Status of Women (CSW) in New York, where governments, activists and organisations come together to advance gender equality and women’s rights.
