The Secretary-General stressed the need for urgent investments to achieve elimination by 2030, in line with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).<\/p>\n<p>He called for decisive action to tackle the social, economic and political norms that perpetuate discrimination against women and girls, limit their participation and leadership and restrict their access to education and employment. \u201cThat starts with challenging the patriarchal power structures and attitudes at the root of this abhorrent practice,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>The UN chief urged countries to redouble efforts and investments to uphold the rights of women and girls and put a decisive end to FGM once and for all. \u201cAnd we need to amplify the voices of survivors and support their efforts to reclaim their lives based on their bodily autonomy,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>The UN\u2019s sexual and reproductive health agency, UNFPA, is helping communities to break the cycle surrounding FGM.
