> This CD-ROM, in English and French, is a collection of data and 
> research on female genital mutilation/cutting (FGM/C) from a wide 
> variety of sources. Funded by USAID, this resource is a direct response 
> to the findings of a 2004 survey, undertaken by the Population 
> Reference Bureau with four collaborating partners, in which respondents 
> said that serious information gaps on FGM/C exist. The CD-ROM fills 
> some of these information gaps, particularly where the Internet is an 
> expensive and unreliable method of research, by including material on 
> various approaches used by organizations working toward abandonment of 
> FGM/C, as well as on statistics, training efforts, and policy aspects. 
> This resource is being disseminated to various NGOs and individuals 
> worldwide.  
> 
> Single copies of the CD-ROM are available free of charge, please
