“Asian countries account for over a third of global cases of #FGC. Yet so little attention has been paid to this region by the international community. Things are starting to change but we have a long way to go.” Sean Callaghan Head of Research @ Orchid Project @endfgmcasia

Our final fact on #fgc in Asia for #16Days is that Southeast Asian girls are most at risk before their first birthday. Research into the age of risk is essential for informing advocacy, policy and programmes to end this practice. #breakthesilence #bodilyautonomy #humanrights
