Nina Van Eekert, member of CPFH and ICRH, received the Matthieu incentive grant by the UA research board today, for her research on the medicalization of female genital mutilation/cutting in Egypt. @NEekert
Paper published!
In #Egypt, the procedure of #femalegenitalcutting is increasingly being performed by trained health professionals. A new study by @PFH_UA shows that this is especially the case when the mother occupies a higher social position within society. #IPSRHJournal guttmacher.org/journals/ipsr…
Very interesting panel discussion to share good practices on current work with FGM-affected communities at the conference 'Preventing FGM in hard reach communities'. #EndFGMforall @GAMS @ENDFGM_Network @ICRHugent @PFH_UA

Nina Van Eekert: Female genitale cutting as a social norm and not complying to it can have severe consequences.
