Tostan has catalyzed community-led development in Africa to achieve sustainable transformation in a number of areas. This transformation includes the improbable: a shift away from deeply entrenched, age-old practices that harm women and girls and a movement toward full recognition of the human rights of all people. Tostan has recognized the importance of working closely with influential local community and religious leaders on issues such as ending female genital cutting (FGC), child and forced marriage, and domestic violence. As a result of Tostan's close collaboration with these leaders, many are now at the forefront of a movement to ensure that human rights and responsibilities are respected within their communities.
