HUMAN ACCESS in Al-Mahra Governorate held a regular meeting of the Children’s Ambassadors Network in Al-Ghaydah city as part of the project to combat female genital mutilations (FGM), funded by the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), in order to increase the community knowledge about the harmful effects of FGM.
