Presented by Grace McAleer Open University/BHSCT, this seminar will discuss female genital mutilation (FGM), including its definition, prevalence, types, health implications, impact, and current state of play in Northern Ireland. It will also discuss healthcare awareness of FGM among midwives and nurses in Northern Ireland and what is available in the UK and Ireland compared to Northern Ireland.
The goal of this seminar is to raise awareness of FGM and its impact on women and girls. By understanding the problem, we can work to improve future healthcare for all.
