WOMANKIND IN ETHIOPIA

Womankind Worldwide is an international women’s human rights charity working to help women transform their lives in Africa, Asia and Latin America.

Despite achieving high economic growth in recent years, Ethiopia remains one of the poorest countries in Africa. 74% of women aged 15-49 years have undergone Female Genital Mutilation (FGM), and 81% of women believe their husbands have the right to beat them. Our partners are working to eliminate these harmful traditional practices and values.
