February 6 is the International Day of Zero Tolerance to FGM/C, and an important opportunity for us all to affirm our commitment to improving the rights, safety and health of women and girls around the globe.
To mark the day, we are releasing our Position-Paper on FGM/C, which was produced with the help of many wonderful women already working to ensure that the practice is not continued in Australia and that migrant and refugee women who have experienced FGM/C have access to services and support which meet their needs.
We’d like to thank again the women who have contributed to this document and the organisations who have endorsed our position. We hope that it provides a solid foundation for the abandonment of FGM/C in one generation in an Australian context.
