Reversal of Female Genital Mutilation
Over 80,000 girls and women in Australia are negatively affected by Female Genital Mutilation or FGM. Every 17 seconds a child is mutilated in the world. The cost to a woman to have a reversal surgery overseas is over $20,000, hence the need of a centre in Australia.
