Recommendation 1
1
FGM survivors often lack awareness of long-term health complications and care needs
Conclusion
Survivors of female genital mutilation (FGM) experience profound physical, emotional and psychosexual consequences and require specialised care and support to manage these impacts. Despite this, survivors may not be aware that the health complications they experience are a consequence of FGM, meaning awareness among survivors of the long-term health implications of FGM is vital. (Conclusion, Paragraph 18)
