Female is the gender with the ability to reproduce,, while Genitals are sex organs,, which makes the female genitals same as the female sex organs.
When we say Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) we mean the removal of some or all the external female genitalia,, this is also known as female circumcision.
This violation of human right is still practiced in some countries of the world especially in African and Asian countries. It is mainly practiced with traditional motives, such as to reduce promiscuity in the female gender.
The circumcision is done without adequate equipments thereby endangering the female folks.
Female Genital Mutilation is an inhuman action that should not be accepted in any area of settlement. It can be in different forms,, example Clitoridectomy, Excision, Infibulation or Phanaonic procedure, Pricking, Piercing, Incising,Scraping and Cauterization. But no matter the form it comes, it is an ill act that should be avoided except if proven necessary by medical practitioners.
FGM has serious consequences,, like
severe bleeding which can result to death,
Neurological disorder as a result of trauma,
Injury to nearby genital tissues,
Infection and Septicemia,
Painful Menstruation,
Low libido and painful intercourse etc
Nigeria is one of the numerous countries that FGM is practiced and in Nigeria, Ebonyi State is one of the highest rated states where this evil act is most practiced.
I personally classify Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) as a Gender Based Violence (GBV) that ought to become extinct, so I join the office of the state Governors wife, Ebonyi State as she flags off a campaign against Female Genital Mutilation (FGM), today 5th July 2016
Let's Protect our Women and Girls!
