Female Genital Mutilation comprises all procedures that involve partial or total removal of the external female genitalia, or other injury to the female genital organs for nonmedical
reasons (WHO). It is also sometimes referred to as female genital cutting or female circumcision.
The forum will consist of a presentation on the topic, a personal experience of FGM and a panel discussion. The aim is to provide participants with a better understanding of FGM. We will explore where, when, how and why FGM is practised, and ways of responding to those at risk and survivors in South Australia.
Panel members include:
> Jan Williams (Clinical Services Coordinator, Migrant Health Service)
> Gillian Kariuki (Social Worker, Women’s & Children’s Health Network)
> Ifrah Warsame (Multicultural Youth Drive)
> Kim Voss (Social Worker, Women’s & Children’s Health Network)
