The Civil Society Organizations in Western Darfur state have started their campaign against Female Genital Mutilation with a special focus on villagers and IDPs. An official from Child Protection Unit from the Child-Friendly Society Initiative, Salha Yahia Abdallah, said that some residents in Western Darfur State widely practice female circumcision.
The campaign is supported and supervised by the United Nations Childrens' Fund (UNICEF).
