Webinar: Improving the Health System and Legal Frameworks\u27 Response to FGM/C

Population Council successfully led the Evidence to End FGM/C: Research to Help Girls and Women Thrive consortium—a UKAID-funded research program to help end female genital mutilation/cutting (FGM/C) within one generation. The programme conducted high quality research across eight countries in Africa with significant country, regional and global relevance for the last five years 2015-2020. This is part one of a two-part webinar series intended for practitioners, researchers, donors and implementers and covering a range of evidence and implications on topics such as medicalization, laws, social norms, variations of the practice, and prospects for abandonment. Both webinars marked the end of a five-year program intended to expand the body of evidence on the most effective and cost-effective approaches to ending FGM/C in different contexts. This webinar, Improving the Health System and Legal Frameworks\u27 Response to FGM/C, aired live on May 14, 2020
