THE PHILOSOPHY THAT GUIDES AND MOTIVATES US IS THAT ACCESS TO HEALTH AND SAFETY IS A FUNDAMENTAL HUMAN RIGHT REGARDLESS OF WHERE A WOMAN OR GIRL LIVES. OUR MISSION IS TO ENSURE WOMEN AND GIRLS HAVE ACCESS TO INFORMATION ABOUT THEIR HEALTH, SAFETY, AND FREEDOM FROM GENDER-BASED VIOLENCE, INCLUDING FEMALE GENITAL MUTILATION (FGM).
