Submitted by zerzan on

This is the third chapter of Costing the Three Transformative Results, which focuses on new research to estimate the costs associated the global effort led by UNFPA towards: (a) ending preventable maternal deaths, (b) ending the unmet need for family planning, (c) ending gender-based violence and all harmful practices, including child marriage and female genital mutilation.

This chapter focuses on the estimated cost of ending female genital mutilation. It was compiled by UNFPA partners at Avenir Health. 

Imagine a world...

Imagine a world where no one is subjected to violence because of their gender, where no girl is forced to marry, where no girl of woman is subjected to female genital mutilation of harmful practice. Imagine a world where every couple can decide freely when and if to have children.
