The FGM/C Research Initiative, hosted by Orchid Project, is dedicated to eradicating female genital mutilation and cutting (FGM/C) through comprehensive research and knowledge sharing. Building on the legacy of 28 Too Many, this initiative focuses on closing critical knowledge gaps related to the prevalence and impact of FGM/C globally. Key objectives include generating evidence, strengthening the capacity of partners, and influencing policies to foster effective interventions.

The initiative works collaboratively with numerous organizations, including the Africa Coordinating Centre for the Abandonment of FGM/C and the Asian-Pacific Resource and Research Centre for Women, to facilitate knowledge exchange and establish best practices. Orchid Project aims to make quality research accessible to grassroots movements, policymakers, and global institutions, ensuring that data informs action.

By curating comprehensive research and resources, Orchid Project empowers communities and stakeholders to advocate for the abandonment of FGM/C, contributing to the sustained health and dignity of women and girls worldwide.
