RAINBO is an international not-for-profit organization with consultative status with the United Nations Economic and Social Commission (ECOSOC) that works on issues within the intersection between health and human rights of women. Starting with the issue of female circumcision/female genital mutilation (FC/FGM), we have continued to explore means of preventing this and other forms of gender-related violence. Our ultimate goal is to promote and protect women's and girls' sexual and reproductive health and rights. We provide technical assistance to international and donor agencies and work in partnership with local organizations to develop and advance effective policies and programs to deal with these crucial issues. Our work is focused on programs in Africa and in African immigrant and refugee communities.
