The Commission for Citizenship and Gender Equality created a working group dedicated to the prevention and combat of harmful practices. The group's main focus is female genital mutilation, a practice that continues to affect women and girls in various parts of the world.
In addition to female genital mutilation, the working group is also dedicated to combating child marriages, another practice considered harmful that especially affects young girls. Both practices are recognized as violations of human rights and the dignity of women.
This working group emerges within the scope of broader efforts to promote gender equality and protect the rights of women and girls. The creation of this structure demonstrates the concern of authorities in addressing these issues in a coordinated and effective manner.
