Female genital mutilation (FGM) is a procedure that intentionally alters or injures the female genital organs for non-medical reasons. It is sometimes referred to as female circumcision or female genital cutting.

FGM is a harmful practice that has no health benefits. It can cause severe pain, bleeding, infection, and other health problems. It can also lead to psychological problems, such as anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder.

FGM is a violation of human rights. It is a form of violence against women and girls. It is also a form of child abuse.

FGM is a global problem. It is estimated that 200 million girls and women alive today have undergone FGM. The practice is most common in Africa, but it also occurs in some countries in Asia, the Middle East, and Latin America.

There is no one-size-fits-all solution to ending FGM. However, there are a number of things that can be done to address the problem, including:

  • Raising awareness of the harmful effects of FGM
  • Providing education and support to girls and women who have undergone FGM
  • Working to change the social and cultural norms that support FGM
  • Promoting laws and policies that protect girls and women from FGM

Ending FGM is a complex challenge, but it is one that is worth pursuing. FGM is a harmful practice that has no place in the 21st century.
