Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) in Indonesia: Systematic Review

Indonesian Planned Parenthood Association (IPPA/PKBI) has taken proactive steps to combat FGM/C through data-driven research, capacity building, and strategic partnerships.

Indonesian Planned Parenthood Association (IPPA/PKBI) has taken proactive steps to combat FGM/C through data-driven research, capacity building, and strategic partnerships. A mapping exercise in South Kalimantan and Riau identified drivers, detractors, and community needs, with findings analysed alongside Semarang University and published in an academic journal to inform FGM/C programming. Building on this, IPPA trained local midwives to counsel parents on the harms of FGM/C and developed educational materials to enhance community awareness. Globally, IPPA engaged with experts at the IPPF Center of Excellence on FGM/C in Mauritania, collaborating with academicians, practitioners, and activists committed to eradicating FGM/C. Nationally, IPPA is working with government actors to refine FGM/C programming guidance, aligning efforts with Indonesia’s Roadmap to Eradicating FGM/C by 2030. This multifaceted approach underscores IPPA’s commitment to evidence-based strategies, empowering communities, and fostering partnerships to eliminate FGM/C and ensure healthier futures.
