Global Woman P.E.A.C.E. Foundation

There are several organizations in the United States that advocate against various individual types of gender based violence (GBV). However Global Woman P.E.A.C.E. Foundation is unique in its advocacy against female genital mutilation (FGM). The organization raises awareness through events and the distribution of literature about the violent acts against women and girls. The Executive Director of the organization authored a book in 2014 about female genital mutilation, from which all proceeds and royalties are donated to the organization as support against the practice of female genital mutilation. On November 8, 2014 the organization made history when it was joined by several like-minded organizations from around the country on the Washington National Mall in the first “Walk to End FGM” in the country.
