This webinar, part of the Population Institute's webinar series "Behind Closed Doors" in collaboration with Sahiyo and The U.S. End FGM/C Network, sheds light on the often-hidden practice of female genital mutilation/cutting (FGM/C) in the United States. This webinar uplifts the messages in our report, "Behind Closed Doors: Exposing and Addressing Harmful Gender-Based Practices in the United States". Featuring expert insights, survivor testimony, and community-based advocacy, this session explores the impact of FGM/C on individuals and communities, the cultural norms that perpetuate this harmful practice, and the policies needed to end it. This session is a crucial step in building awareness and momentum for lasting change in the fight against gender-based violence in the U.S. Watch the full webinar to learn more and join the conversation on how we can work together to end FGM/C and other harmful gender-based practices.
