Orchid Project

Working together to end female genital cutting, Orchid believes that an end to FGC is possible.

The Orchid Project has a simple vision: a world free from female genital cutting.

This is possible within the next generation. We want to work with local, national and international organisations, who together can end FGC.

We want to raise awareness, gain support and ensure there are more resources to allow us to end FGC by 2025.

FGC is a recognised abuse of human rights, child rights and women’s rights. It is recognised globally as such, yet still, 3 million girls a year are cut in Africa alone. 140 million women around the world are living with the effects of FGC.

Orchid Project will:
- Work with strategic delivery partners who deliver an end to FGC at the grassroots level
- Communicate to the world and the general public the successes of our partners and others, showing the message of hope
- Advocate at a high level for increased global resources to end FGC
