An diesem Tag wird die Aufmerksamkeit auf die weibliche Genitalverstümmelung gelenkt und ihre Ausrottung gefordert.

Am 6. Februar 2003 hat die First Lady von Nigeria, Stella Obasanjo während einer Konferenz des Inter-Afrikanische Komitees (IAC) in einer offiziellen Erklärung die Nulltoleranz gegenüber der weiblichen Genitalverstümmelung verkündet. Die UN-Abteilung für Menschenrechte hat den 6. Februar als offiziellen Gedenktag fixiert. Täglich werden 8.000 Mädchen ihrer Genitalien und Würde beraubt. Weltweit sind davon 150 Millionen Frauen betroffen.
