Interventions to Accelerate the Abandonment of FGM: Lessons
Learned
Online Discussion Forum: 8 – 20 February, 2010
The
Population Council’s INTACT Network (International Network to Analyze,
Communicate and Transform the Campaign against Female Genital Mutilation or
FGM) invites you to join a newly-launched online discussion forum, hosted by
the Implementing Best Practices web site.
The
forum seeks to provide activists, researchers, and scholars from around the
world with opportunities to discuss the culture, gender, and human rights
issues underlying FGM and share approaches to achieve abandonment, strategies
to engage policymakers, and ideas in evaluating the impact of interventions.
In
observance of International Day of Zero Tolerance to FGM, the INTACT forum will
host “Interventions to Accelerate the Abandonment of FGM: Lessons
Learned” (8 – 20 February) an e-discussion on implementing interventions
against FGM. This global online forum is an opportunity to share experiences,
challenges, and lessons learned, pose questions and discuss with colleagues who
are experienced in the field of FGM.
During
the two-week e-discussion discussants from the Population Council, the Population
Reference Bureau, UNFPA, UNICEF, and civil society will answer—and
pose—questions as well as stimulate conversation and brainstorming.
Participants will receive a daily digest of contributions from the moderated
forum.
We would like to
invite you to join this forum. To join the discussion, please go to http://my.ibpinitiative.org/public//fgm
and you will then be able to access the discussion forum. You will be able to
participate in the discussion simply
by responding to the daily
digest or by sending a message at any time to fgm@my.ibpinitiative.org.
