Female Genital Mutilation (FGM)

Female genital mutilation (FGM) is a harmful practice that violates the rights of girls and women. According to the World Health Organization, over 200 million girls and women worldwide have undergone FGM. FGM can cause a range of health problems, including chronic pain, infections, and complications during childbirth. However, there are efforts being made to eradicate it. Organizations and advocates are working to raise awareness about the harmful effects of FGM, provide support to survivors, and promote policies and legislation that prohibit the practice. While there is still much work to be done to eliminate FGM, progress is being made, and the efforts of these groups are making a positive impact.
