| From March 2020, early in the global COVID-19 crisis, reports began to emerge from our partners and allies that they were witnessing\[W9]\elevated rates of female genital cutting (FGC). In Kenya, a country making positive progress in ending the practice through political leadership, a national and county-level governance structure and civil society action, we were hearing consistent reports of girls being subjected to FGC, or fleeing their homes for fear of being cut, from various counties due to school closures and the implementation of lockdown measures.\[W9]\Since the start of the pandemic, a range of excellent reports have highlighted the `gendered impact` of the COVID-19 crisis on women and girls, which has brought pre-existing inequalities and gender-based violence into sharp focus. But at a global policy level there has been less acknowledgement of how the pandemic is specifically affecting the practice of FGC.\[W9]\In response, Orchid Project began conducting interviews and surveys with our grassroots partners and allies across West Africa, East Africa and Asia to explore the impacts of COVID-19 on the practice of FGC and the organisations and activists working to end the practice | |
