Malaysian Doctors for Women & Children

Since the 2018 CEDAW, there has been a significant cultural shift in the perspectives on female genital cutting (FGC) in Malaysia. While much work remains, the progress achieved deserves commendation. The Malaysian Doctors for Women & Children are always open to discussions and collaborations to ensure the eradication of FGC in Malaysia. “The delegation said Malaysia took the recommendations of the Committee regarding female genital mutilation very seriously. Since the last review, the Government had intensified discussions on this practice at the highest level. Engagement was undertaken with religious leaders, civil society and medical experts to improve the body of knowledge regarding female circumcision. Malaysians had become more aware that the practice was grounded in culture and had no health benefits. Malaysia would continue to hold conversations on female genital mutilation and looked forward to learning best practices from the international community.” https://lnkd.in/drFjwg6w
