FGM/C and UNICEF

In the context of the long-standing commitment of UNICEF to end the discriminatory and harmful practice of female genital mutilation/cutting, UNICEF's Innocenti Research Centre devotes the most recent Innocenti Digest to Changing a Harmful Social Convention: Female Genital Mutilation/Cutting.

This Digest is an important programmatic and advocacy tool and has the potential to inform a number of critical processes including the UN Studies on Violence against Children and Women and the promotion of progress in achieving the target agreed upon at the SSC to end FGM/C by 2010.
