Rites and wrongs: Are we going the right way about ending FGM?

Press/Media: Expert Comment

Description

An interesting piece published in The Elephant by dr. Lotte Hughes and dr. Katy Newell-Jones, also referencing my earlier study on ways to end this practice. It's an urgent call not to forget about the many young girls at risk, but also a call for more research into program effectiveness and turning change programs into initiatives truly led by the community.
