"There is no quick way to put a stop to this practice, but experience has shown that education and information can have a positive impact, particularly if they focus on the negative health consequences. The fact that UN agencies involved in this issue have set a time-frame of three generations for the eradication of FGM clearly indicates that this goal is by no means an easy one."
