6th February 2012 International Day of Zero Tolerance to FGM

  

The Foundation for Women’s Health Research and Development (FORWARD) is conducting a national survey on Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) among young people in the UK in collaboration with the University of East London. FGM has started to receive some attention in the UK; however, the magnitude of the problem has not been adequately assessed due to the absence of comprehensive studies on prevalence. The aim of the national survey is to improve understanding of the nature, experiences, and attitudes of young people on FGM with a view to establishing the extent of the practice and perceptions of young people

If you are a young person aged 13-25 and FGM is a relevant issue your community please take part to the survey:

The survey can be accessed at the FORWARD website:  http://www.forwarduk.org.uk/lip-service-survey By taking part in the survey you'll also stand a chance to win a £20 Amazon voucher.
