New Videos on FGM/C

PRB has produced three new videos based on our wall chart, "Female Genital Mutilation/Cutting: Data and Trends, Update 2017. The videos, customized for social media, explore new data from Indonesia, differences between national and regional prevalence levels, and best practices for assessing progress across generations. Short Videos Highlight Important FGM/C Data The videos aim to expand understanding of key data issues in FGM/C research, including the importance of looking beyond national prevalence to identify hotspots or areas within a country where FGM/C is widely practiced, analyzing change over time by comparing older and younger cohorts rather than changes in overall prevalence, and understanding the various questions and data gaps that are raised by newly available data in Indonesia. Featuring compelling photos, music, and animated text, maps, and data charts, the videos are primarily intended for digital distribution and viewing, though they can also be included in presentations or shown during events or meetings.
