This project aims to produce new knowledge about laws that have criminalised female genital mutilation (FGM) in Australia since 1994. FGM laws are now subject to robust international criticism, as well as increased concerns among the affected communities. Through the use of innovative primary data collection strategies with law and policy makers, justice system officials and with affected communities in Australia and the UK, the project seeks to produce robust evidence and original insights into the effects of these laws and the potential impacts of proposed legal initiatives. Expected benefits include enhanced legal and policy approaches to FGM that will assist with safeguarding the wellbeing of women and children.

该项目旨在提供关于自1994年以来在澳大利亚将切割女性生殖器官定为犯罪的法律的新知识。切割女性生殖器官的法律现在受到国际社会的强烈批评，受影响社区的关切也日益增加。 通过与澳大利亚和联合王国的法律和政策制定者、司法系统官员以及受影响社区一起使用创新的原始数据收集战略，该项目力求就这些法律的影响以及拟议的法律的举措的潜在影响提供有力的证据和独到的见解。预期的好处包括加强对女性外阴残割的法律的和政策办法，这将有助于保障妇女和儿童的福祉。
