Empowering communities to collectively abandon FGM/C in Somaliland (360G-CR-811681)
A draft policy on female genital mutilation/cutting (FGM/C) was drawn up in 2012 as part of the National Gender Policy in Somaliland. These documents rest with the Ministry of Religious Affairs as there has been relative difficulty in gaining public support for them amongst influential religious leaders.With 99% prevalence of FGM/C in the country, this project aims to support Women's Coalitions & School based Youth Groups to raise awareness of FGM/C issues as part of a wider women's rights framework. The work will be linked at a national & regional level through coordination of a sector specific network, support to regional and national ministerial officers, and the production of research which can be used for lobbying.
