Today is the Day of Zero Tolerance for Female Genital Mutilation.
Minister Responsible for Women and Gender Equality, Pam Parsons, announced the province would be joining the international campaign on Friday.
FGM is an issue in over 90 countries on all continents, with 100,000 survivors in Canada.
4.1 million girls are still at risk of mutilation each year, including girls in Canada.
The campaign honours the survivors and those working to end FGM worldwide.
