AkiDwa's - "FGM - Information for Healthcare Professionals working in Ireland" Dec 2008

"As a result of successful collaboration between the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland’s MSc Women's Health course director and students, and the coordinator of the Migrant Women's Health Services Project in AkiDwA, key information on FGM and related health-care needs was researched and developed.  Irish FGM-prevalence statistics were collated during 2008 and are also contained in this resource.  It is envisaged that this resource will be useful to a range of health-care professionals in a broad spectrum of possible settings."
