Abstract

Population Council has 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 two 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, Understanding the What, Where and Why the Practice of FGM/C continues, aired live on May 22, 2020.
