Foundation for Research on Women’s Health, Productivity and the Environment

Die Foundation for Research on Women's Health, Productivity and the Environment[1] (BAFROW) (deutsch Stiftung für die Forschung über Gesundheit von Frauen, Produktivität und Umwelt) ist eine nichtstaatliche Organisation im westafrikanischen Staat Gambia. Der Sitz der Organisation ist in Banjul.[2]

Die Organisation informiert und berät Frauen in Fragen zur sexuellen Gesundheit und führt Check-ups durch. Ein wichtiges Ziel eines 1996 begonnenen Projekts[3] ist die Verringerung der Beschneidung weiblicher Genitalien. Die Autorin Sally Singhateh hatte bis 2009 für die Organisation gearbeitet.
