Reframing FGM/C Through an Intersectional Lens: A CSW69 Parallel Event

This event will spotlight the urgent need to reframe female genital mutilation/cutting (FGM/C) as a global crisis with significant health risks, including potential life-threatening complications. It will also recognize additional forms of FGM/C such as 'labia pulling' and the 'husband stitch', weaponising FGM/C in anti-rights and xenophobic narratives, and the role of framing in shifting perceptions and driving action. With over 230 million girls and women affected and new data revealing FGM/C as a leading cause of death in some regions of the world, this session will highlight inclusive, renewed framing to prioritize and accelerate efforts to eradicate FGM/C by 2030.
