Female genital cutting (FGC) has many names around the world. It is known as female genital mutilation (FGM), female circumcision, sunna, khatna, excision, and many others. Regardless of what name you use for the practice, FGC is a human rights violation and a form of gender based violence. Community Conversations: Collective Voices for Improving the Care and Reducing the Risk of FGC is BRYCS’ work on this issue on a national scale with an emphasis on refugee communities who have traditionally practiced the procedure.
