Mutilation and Sex Education

Mutilation refers to the deliberate destruction or severe alteration of the body, often for cultural, religious, or ritual reasons, but it can also be harmful, as in injuries or violence. Sex education is the process of providing accurate information about human sexuality, including anatomy, reproduction, contraception, consent, and emotional aspects, to help individuals make informed decisions, develop healthy attitudes, and reduce risks such as unintended pregnancies or sexually transmitted infections. Both topics involve understanding bodily integrity and responsibility, promoting safety, respect, and well-being.
