New 1 Millon Pound Initiative Launched to Strengthen Community Based Prevention Work on Female Genital Mutilation (FGM)

City Parochial Foundation, Esmée Fairbairn Foundation and Rosa (the UK Fund for Women and Girls), three independent charitable organisations, have collaborated to establish a new UK-wide Special Initiative to fund community based, preventive work to safeguard children from the practice of Female Genital Mutilation (FGM).

The initiative is supporting organisations based within practising communities - in particular, women's organisations. Approximately £1million has been invested in 15 organisations throughout the UK over a three-year period. The projects will start in January 2010.
