Joint Oireachtas Committee on Gender Equality
Recommendations of Citizens’ Assembly on Gender Equality: Discussion (Resumed)
Ms Sarah Benson:
In terms of further information, our colleagues in AkiDwA, which is our peer organisation, would have led on this. I may misspeak, but my understanding is we need both data, which probably requires a research initiative with the affected communities in particular, and also there was a commitment to an FGM strategy, which is outstanding. I may be misspeaking, but both of those would be important in order to actually see if it has been effective and whether there is any requirement to amend it.
