#86 Female Genital Cutting in Northern Sudan—Breaking A Taboo

Female genital cutting, or FGC, has a number of negative physical and psychological effects, and can lead to death by severe bleeding. MSF arrived in the Tagadom area of Red Sea State in 2006 to raise awareness about the medical effects of FGC and to offer high-quality, free-of-charge maternity services. First, however, the teams had to begin a very difficult, and ultimately very rewarding process of talking about these and other taboo subjects.
