Record $15.5m fund launched to end FGM, targeting 230m affected women

A new $15.5m philanthropic fund, Her Horizon Fund, aims to generate 'unstoppable momentum' to end female genital mutilation, which has affected over 230 million women and girls. The launch comes amid declining donor funding and rising attacks on women's rights, marking the largest single philanthropic contribution to this cause. The fund's success depends on mobilizing additional resources and sustaining political will.
