Few people have made the remarkable impact that Efua did. She dedicated her life to fighting female genital mutilation and managed to change the practice from shameful taboo to global development priority. Efua blazed a trail for women's rights activists in Africa and far beyond and it is inspired by women like her that we continue our work to ensure every girl is able to live a life of her own choosing and fulfil her potential.
