== Background and history ==
Julia Lalla-Maharajh founded Orchid Project after first encountering the issue of FGC in Ethiopia.〔http://www.standard.co.uk/news/education/london-charity-helping-to-save-african-girls-from-mutilation-8524308.html/〕 Julia was volunteering with VSO and learnt learned that 75% of women in Ethiopia have been cut. After talking with local activists, all of whom said to her: "Please go, tell the world that this happens. This violates human rights and we need people to know about it."〔http://skollworldforum.org/2014/08/19/working-generation-girls-wont-cut/〕
Julia returned to the UK keen to begin campaigning against FGC. In 2010, she entered a video competition called the Davos Debates with a video〔http://www.forwarduk.org.uk/570/〕 about FGC.〔 This led her to later meet Tostan’s founder, Molly Melching. Julia went on to spend time working with Tostan in Senegal and Gambia, before returning to the UK and setting up Orchid Project as a charity dedicated to ending FGC.〔
