I am pleased to invite you to a webinar to commemorate International Day of Zero Tolerance for Female Genital Mutilation: 

An Investment Case to End Female Genital Mutilation

The webinar will bring together global stakeholders and experts to discuss the economic burden of FGM and the urgent action needed to achieve Sustainable Development Goal target 5.3 on the abandonment of FGM. 

The webinar will coincide with the publication of the “Economic Burden of Female Genital Mutilation in 27 High-Prevalence Countries” by BMJ Global Health, a study, conducted by WHO, in collaboration with Triangulate Health Ltd. 

There will be live interpretation in French and Arabic. You can register here.

Overview

It has been estimated that over 20,000 girls under the age of 15 are at risk of FGM in the UK each year, and that 66,000 women in the UK are living with the consequences of FGM. More than 1,700 victims were referred to specialist clinics in the last two years, with at least 70 women and girls as young as 7 seeking treatment every month. FGM has been a criminal offence in Britain since 1985; however, there has not been a single prosecution to date. Furthermore, since 2003, it has been illegal to aid or participate in arranging FGM to be performed on another person inside or outside Britain.
