In 1997, a group of women from a Senegalese village took a public stand against the practice of female genital cutting (FGC) in their village. Since then, over 5,000 villages across Africa have joined them in saying no to a centuries-old tradition. Molly Melching and Gerry Mackie have been actively helping African communities abolish this practice.
