Female Genital Mutilation - UN Report

According to the new United Nations report , almost 2,000 communities across Africa have abandoned female genital mutilation/cutting (FGM/C) last year, therefore prompting calls for a renewed global push to end this harmful practice once and for all.

There are many reasons why FGM was introduced in these communities and eventually became a popular practice against women and children. In some culture it was considered a proper way of raising a girl and a way to prepare these girls for marriage and becoming an adult. However, there are no positive health reasons to have FGM performed on a woman. In most communities FGM is thought to reduce a woman’s libido so they will be able to resist sexual urges (WHO.int). Parts of the woman are also removed because it is thought to make the woman “clean” and “beautiful”.
