About FGC

Female genital cutting (FGC) is not indigenous to Australia and Oceania, however girls and women in diaspora, refugee and migrant populations are known to be affected by the practice. A small scale study in Australia found that 23 paediatricians out of 1,000 had seen 59 girls that had undergone FGC.
