Roadside FGM progress
This is a campaign against female circumcision (or more properly FMG - Female Genital Mutilation). It's still a big thing in rural Africa, where ignorance and economic pressures (mothers fear uncircumcised girls may not marry well) ensure that many girls as young as 6 are left mutilated. So, good for World Vision. These placards are in most villages from Mopti to Bamako. They are all hand stencilled, not printed. The mother's tongue is depicted as a razor blade.
