I had the privilege of contributing to our new publication on female circumcision (khatan perempuan, FGM/C) in Malaysia, this time delving into the social, cultural, and religious dimensions of the practice, in collaboration with Asian-Pacific Resource & Research Centre for Women (ARROW), the Asia Network to End FGM/C, and Sisters in Islam Malaysia – in Bahasa Melayu. Please have a read!
KHATAN PEREMPUAN: SELAMAT ATAU TIDAK provides accurate information about khatan perempuan, and to raise the public awareness about the nuances of the practice of khatan perempuan in Malaysia.
This toolkit has been produced in Bahasa Malaysia in order to be accessible to the Malay population and to contribute to a growing body of evidence advocating for the end of FGM/C in Malaysia and in Asia.
KHATAN PEREMPUAN: SELAMAT ATAU TIDAK is is co-developed by the Asia Network to End FGM/C, the Asian-Pacific Resource and Research Centre for Women (ARROW), Malaysian Doctors for Women & Children (MDWC), and Sisters in Islam (SIS).
