ICAR state that "This briefing addresses four key issues relating to refugee women: the introduction of gender guidelines, female genital mutilation (FGM), the trafficking of women and women in detention. The briefing aims to complement ICAR’s Navigation Guide on Women Asylum Seekers and Refugees in the UK, which provides a broader overview of this subject."
