February 6---International Day of Zero Tolerance to Female Genital Mutilation


 Together, we can eliminate female genital mutilation by 2030. Doing so will have a positive ripple effect on the health, education and economic advancement of girls and women.----------UN Secretary-General António Guterres

  • Female genital mutilation is a global human rights issue affecting girls and women in every region of the world. 
  • At least 200 million girls and women alive today have undergone female genital mutilation. 
  • Female genital mutilation is rooted in gender inequalities and power imbalances between men and women – and it sustains them by limiting opportunities for girls and women to realize their rights and full potential in terms of health, education and income.  
  • Ending female genital mutilation takes work at many levels, from dialogue and action that engages families and communities, to protection and care services for girls and women, laws and their enforcement, and political commitment at the local, regional, national and international levels. 
  • Eliminating female genital mutilation is a critical step towards realizing other Sustainable Development Goals, which focus on gender equality, good health and well-being, safe motherhood, quality education, inclusive societies and economic growth.

FGM is a violation of girls’ and women’s fundamental human rights.

Progress to end FGM needs to be at least 10 times faster if the practice is to be eliminated by 2030.

     B.Ed internship training held for about 16 weeks period, from November 1st , 2021 to February 28,2022.  It was a very nice experience as a student teacher of R.M.P C.S.I. P.S.K. Rajaratnam Memorial college of Education, Sathankulam. The few months of teaching was very enjoyable. I, myself took classes for classes IX and VI standard. As there was a complete lockdown of schools for past 1.5 years, students were eager to learn new concepts. The classes were lively, students asking doubts, seeking help in learning, doing homework regularly,     Here are few photos of my class at St. John's Girls Higher Secondary School, Nazareth.
