This Country Profile provides comprehensive information on the most recent trends and data on female genital cutting (FGC) in Malaysia. It includes an analysis of the current socio-political situation, legal frameworks and programmes to make recommendations on how to move toward eradicating the practice. Its purpose is to equip activists, practitioners, development partners and research organisations with the most up-to-date information to inform decision-making on policy and practice in the Malaysian and South East Asian contexts. Academic research undertaken by professionals of various disciplines form the backbone of this Country Profile, as do reports and statements by both governmental and non-governmental organisations, postgraduate research, media materials, webinars and documentary videos.
