For girls escaping FGM in rural Tanzania, crowdsourced maps show the way to safety

Ending FGM takes a multi-pronged approach – from offering a refuge for girls at acute risk to engaging families and communities to raise awareness of the harm it causes, and transform the social norms that uphold the practice.

Tanzania Humanitarian Emergency

Tanzania hosts more than 200,000 refugees and asylum seekers from Burundi and the Democratic Republic of the Congo in Nyarugusu, Nduta, and Mtendeli camps in Kigoma region. Refugees live in crowded conditions and face many challenges in meeting their basic needs such as food, health and hygiene. Women and girls also face increased risks of gender-based violence, early marriage and early pregnancy. UNFPA supports the Tanzania Red Cross Society and International Rescue Committee to respond to people’s sexual and reproductive health needs and provide GBV prevention and response services in Nyarugusu and Mtendeli camps.
