Abstract

This landmark convening was co-organized by Kenya's Anti-FGM Board and the Population Council's FGM Data Hub as a direct response to the evolving nature of female genital mutilation across Eastern and Western Africa. The gathering represented a strategic pivot from traditional awareness-focused approaches toward intelligence-driven enforcement and regional cooperation.
