Female Genital Mutilation/Cutting
The practice of female genital mutilation/cutting (FGM/C) harms the physical, psychological, and reproductive and sexual health of women and is a violation of women’s fundamental human rights. About 100 to 140 million girls and young women have experienced FGM/C, and an additional three million are at risk each year. This course will provide learners with an overview of FGM/C and examples of interventions that have worked – as well as those that have not worked – to encourage the abandonment of the practice.
