About Orchid Project

Orchid Project has a vision of a world free from female genital cutting (FGC).  We are a small but growing, dynamic not for profit organisation with a proven track record of delivering programmes, policy, advocacy and communications in support of an end to FGC.  More than 4 million girls a year are subjected to female genital cutting. This involves partial or full removal of a girl's external female genitalia.  In the short term, it can cause serious bleeding, infection and sometimes death. It dramatically disadvantages girls for the future: many girls never return to school and are often forced into early marriage. As well as the physical damage, cutting significantly curtails the education, incomes, and independence of women and girls.  It is a fundamental breach of the human rights of women and girls, and it causes lasting health, education, economic and social harm.  Many communities are ending cutting - and we know this can be accelerated to meet the world’s target of ending this practice by 2030 - but at the moment, the population is growing faster than the prevalence is falling, leading to a rising number of girls being cut each year. Because of the COVI-19 pandemic, programme work to end cutting has been disrupted, and an additional 2 million girls are now at risk of being cut in the next ten years, according to UNFPA.

Orchid Project works in three ways:

• Advocating for resources and commitments to end FGC

• Partnering with grassroots organisations working towards abandonment in practising countries 

• Sharing best practices and communicating the scale and impact of FGC and how it is ending

Values

We are collaborative, we are respectful, and we are open and accountable. All staff are expected to uphold Orchid Project’s values and work together to achieve transformational change.
