Uganda: FGM Resurgence - There Is Need to Change Social Norms and Beliefs

[Monitor] Media reports have been awash with stories about the resurgence of female genital mutilation (FGM) in the Sebei sub-region, with the highest number of victims reported coming from Kween District. Unconfirmed estimates have put the number of those mutilated at nearly 400. The nation is visibly shocked because many thought the practice was a thing of the past. To many observers, it may seem like after the enactment of the FGM Act in 2010, FGM ended.
