Affecting the Health of Women and Children

Video: Beliefs and Misbeliefs

Produced by IAC in 2003, this is a short film about FGM and other harmful traditional practices in their cultural contexts. The film also highlights IAC's information and training activities in different African countries. Running time: 8.5 minutes.

NB: Although it has been edited, we would like to warn viewers about the disturbing nature of parts of this film where actual children are shown undergoing FGM and tribal marking.
