Dr. Jasmine Abdulcadir opened the first outpatient clinic for women and girls who have undergone female genital mutilation/cutting in Geneva. Reconstruction is not always the solution to this traumatic experience. Dr. Abdulcadir’s first objective is to debunk myths, taboos and misconceptions around female sexuality, which can empower women in making informed decisions.

Dr. Abdulcadir is an obstetrician and gynecologist. She is responsible for the outpatient clinic for women and girls living with FGM/C of the Geneva University Hospitals, which provides health education, prevention, counseling and culturally sensitive surgical and psychosexual care.
