Dutch Government Policy Paper on Genital Female Mutilation
The Dutch Ministry of Health, Welfare and Sport requested the Council for Public Health and Care to advise him on the way in which FGM can be addressed via a special committee. This resulted in an advice in March 2005.
On 26 August 2005, the Government set out its position in the policy advice in a letter to the House of Representatives in which it was decided to deal with FMG intensively in six concentration areas: Amsterdam, Rotterdam, The Hague, Utrecht, Eindhoven and Tilburg. The Ministry requested that Pharos' knowledge centre for refugees and health draw up an action plan based on this government position.
This action plan offers frameworks in which various partners collaborate in the intensive combat against FGM and frameworks for approach in the municipalities.
