ASSIGNMENT: What kinds of programs have been effective in ending FGM?
Find information about a specific grassroots program that has been effective in stopping the practice of FGM. Where is the project located? Who are the key people and organizations? What are they doing to bring about change?
There is a packet from a conference at the Johns Hopkins School of Public Health on reserve at the library that will help you begin your search. It's listed under my personal copies.
You can also find information on the web. The following sites and key words are a start:
TOSTAN, Molly Melching, Senegal
Circumcision Through Words, Maendeleo ya Wanawake (MYWO), Kenya
Fatou Waggeh, BAFROW, The Gambia
Equality Now
Coptic Evangelical Organization for Social Services
Program for Appropriate Technology and Health
