Female genital cutting (FGC) is a form of gender-based violence and a violation of the sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) of women and girls globally. This factsheet from CHANGE (the Center for Health and Gender Equity) discusses the global scale of FGC - particularly in emergency settings including COVID-19, describes the detrimental impacts that FGC has on women and girls' health and well-being, and outlines the future of FGC research, policy, and advocacy. This factsheet was updated in partnership with Orchid Project, Advocates for Youth, the International Center for Research on Women (ICRW), and the U.S. Network to End FGM/C.

Using mixed methods, the authors of this case study published in Conflict and Health evaluated three training workshops that piloted the IAWG and Ipas uterine evacuation training modules (coming in 2021) during the 2019 humanitarian contexts of Uganda, Nigeria, and the Democratic Republic of Congo. Results suggest that the module contributed to participants’ increased theoretical knowledge and possibly technical and counseling skills. Equally noteworthy were their confidence building and positive attitude towards promoting a rights-based, fearless, non-judgmental, and non-discriminatory approach toward clients.
