Abstract EN

We commend Berg and Underland for taking on the momentous task of systematically reviewing and summarizing available data on the association between female genital mutilation (FGM) and obstetric outcomes [1, 2].

FGM is an important health and human rights issue and reliable evidence on its effects on health is critical for advocacy to encourage its abandonment.
