Female genital mutilation
Updated January 2018
Key facts
- Female genital mutilation (FGM) includes procedures that intentionally alter or cause injury to the female genital organs for non-medical reasons.
- The procedure has no health benefits for girls and women.
- Procedures can cause severe bleeding and problems urinating, and later cysts, infections, as well as complications in childbirth and increased risk of newborn deaths.
- More than 200 million girls and women alive today have been cut in 30 countries in Africa, the Middle East and Asia where FGM is concentrated1.
- FGM is mostly carried out on young girls between infancy and age 15.
- FGM is a violation of the human rights of girls and women.
Female genital mutilation (FGM) comprises all procedures that involve partial or total removal of the external female genitalia, or other injury to the female genital organs for non-medical reasons.
The practice is mostly carried out by traditional circumcisers, who often play other central roles in communities, such as attending childbirths. In many settings, health care providers perform FGM due to the erroneous belief that the procedure is safer when medicalized1. WHO -strongly urges health professionals not to perform such procedures.

Peace and harmony within the home is destroyed by domestic violence. Domestic violence generates no benefits and submits all members of family to this unnecessary violence.
3) FGM – female genital mutilation – Stop NOW!!
This procedure / torture provides no known benefits to anyone!
But, there are many known problems for the girls and women refer the World Health Organisation (WHO) – fact sheet above.
FGM is recognized internationally as a violation of the human rights of girls and women. It reflects deep-rooted inequality between the sexes, and constitutes an extreme form of discrimination against women. It is nearly always carried out on minors and is a violation of the rights of children. The practice also violates a person’s rights to health, security and physical integrity, the right to be free from torture and cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment, and the right to life when the procedure results in death.
4) BULLYING of any form to any human being.
This can be verbal, non-verbal, physical and now by social media.
Parents and adults should be aware of the children’s habits and communications on a daily basis including social media so that they can assist the children on how to handle such acts of bullying and prevent act of self harm as a result of such actions.
5) Violence and sexual abuse of fellow humans.
This occurs at work, home or in public areas. Such events should always be reported if we are to rid society of the perpetrators of such acts.
6) Unsafe working conditions.
Generally with the aim of increasing profits for the business owner. Often occurs where there is high levels of labour and when the labour force targeted lacks the average education standards.Workers should report unsafe equipment and working conditions to protect themselves and fellow team members.
7) Discrimination of any kind, especially on the grounds of race, age or sex.
This can occur at home, the workplace, within a community or in public.
Such events should always be reported if we are to rid society of the perpetrators of such acts.
Please, help to stop ABUSES of all kinds to fellow human beings. Report all incidents to the appropriate government bodies and write, phone and visit your local member of Government asking for support to eliminate all acts of abuse.
Thank you for your support.
