Ending female genital mutilation (FGM)An estimated 130 million women have undergone genital mutilation (FGM), and an additional three million girls are submitted to the practice every year. The Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH (former Deutsche Gesellschaft für Technische Zusammenarbeit (GTZ) GmbH) - on behalf of the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) - has been active in international efforts to stop female genital mutilation since May 1999.
