What it is: The Global Platform for Action to End FGM/C is a consortium of civil society organizations, champions, survivors, and grassroots representatives united in a singular mission: to support the abandonment and prevention of female genital mutilation/cutting (FGM/C).

Why/ when it was formed: The Global Platform for Action to end FGM/C came together in early 2019 to place FGM/C high on the agenda of the Women Deliver 2019 conference, through a joint event that was considered among the top 5 ways of making an impact. It was the very first time that representatives from civil society working on FGM worldwide came together united publicly to make FGM/C a thing of the past. 

Who are the members: The core group is made up of 12 Non-Governmental Organisations who have the common goal of eliminating FGM and supporting Survivors. 


Our International Partners

The End FGM Canada Network is a member of the Five Foundation, International Child Protection Network of Canada (ICPNC) and is among the founding members of the Global Platform for Action to End FGM.

The Five Foundation works at the systemic level to advocate for better funding streams for women on the African continent and beyond. We regularly convene donors, including foundations and high net-worth individuals, senior government decision-makers, research organizations and the corporate sector, to change the way they fund evidence-based grassroots activism and women’s economic empowerment on the continent. In this sense, The Five Foundation uniquely operates as a hub of systemic change for African women and girls to achieve Global Goal 5.

International Child Protection Network of Canada (ICPNC) uses the voice of its membership to influence child protection policies within Canada and abroad. The Bureau plays an active role in national and international campaigns, enabling ongoing dialogue with competent authorities and local partners.
