FGM (Female Genital Mutilation)

Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) involves intentionally altering or injuring female genitalia for non-medical reasons. It is often rooted in cultural, religious, or traditional beliefs and typically performed without medical necessity. FGM can cause severe physical complications such as pain, infection, childbirth difficulties, and long-term health issues. It violates human rights by harming girls and women and has no health benefits. Efforts worldwide aim to eliminate FGM through education, awareness, and legal measures, recognizing it as a harmful tradition that infringes on women's and girls' health and well-being.
