Last week, the Child Helpline received a call about a midwife who was going to perform Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) on five girls in a village in Assiut. Luckily, they moved quickly to save the girls and stop the crime before it took place.

On the International Day of the Girl Child, let us pledge to end harmful practices, ensure quality education and eliminate gender inequalities. Let us pledge to invest in girls.
