Today is set out to mark Zero Tolerance to Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) .According to the United Nations, an estimated 125 million girls and women alive today have suffered from FGM.  ICN believes that competent, knowledgeable and culturally sensitive nurses and other healthcare providers are essential to fight harmful cultural practices including FGM.
