To create a world in which the right of everyone to bodily integrity and the freedom to choose what’s done to their genitals is legally protected on an equal basis.

Our mission is to promote and support impact litigation by providing the resources needed for affected persons to win legal cases involving medically unnecessary child genital cutting.

We can accomplish this through:
· Educational programs to expand awareness in the legal community, as well as the general public, and to build coalitions of support to defend every child’s human right to bodily integrity in the courts and elsewhere.

· Support for impact litigation that expands protection of at-risk children’s human right to bodily integrity and future (adult) genital autonomy. Support may include: familiarizing attorneys with genital autonomy arguments published in legal, medical, ethics and human rights journals; assisting plaintiffs with legal retainer fees; assisting with reasonable legal costs (filing fees, discovery expenses, provision of expert witnesses, etc); and possible financial reimbursement to attorneys willing to undertake groundbreaking litigation whose cases are ultimately lost or dismissed.

· Raising the necessary funds to contribute to the requisite legal costs of current and future litigation involving Children at Risk of genital cutting and Those Affected by Cutting (the CARTAC community).
