FGM (female genital mutilation) is a traditionally harmful practice that involves partial or complete removal of a woman's external genitalia or injury to the female genital organs for non-medical reasons. FGM is carried out as a way to control women’s sexuality, It is thought to ensure virginity before marriage and fidelity afterward.
There are so many types it's hard to say. And all of them are very dirty and brutal, but the most barbaric type of it is infibulation (Extreme female genital mutilation) involves complete excision of the clitoris, labia minora, and most labia majora, followed by stitching to close most of the vagina.
TYPE 2: (EXCISION) complete or partial removal of the inner labia, with or without removal of the clitoral glans and outer labia.
TYPE 3: (INFIBULATION) removal of the inner and outer labia and the fusion of the wound, leaving a matchstick-sized hole for the passing of the urine and menstrual blood; miscellaneous practices, including symbolic nicking. girls legs are often bound together to immobilize them for 10 14 days, allowing the formation of scar tissue

FGM originated in Nubia, Sudan in 800 BCE.it spreads across groups as more resource endowed males meet less resource endowed females in circumstances of inequality. marriageability is its main reason for continuation.
FGM is practiced mainly by Christians, Muslims, Jews, and some animist groups in Africa, particularly guinea and mali. the only Jewish group known to have practiced FGM is the Beta Israel of Ethiopia. about Christians, the bible does not mention FGM Even so, Christian girls are a victim of FGM in 17 African countries. In Nigeria, for example, 55% of Christian girls have FGM. FGM is found mostly within and adjacent to Muslim communities. although the Quran does not mention FGM it is praised in a few hadith as noble but not required.
It is not possible to say how many girls worldwide have had FGM because even though this barbaric act is carried out in secret, UNICEF estimates that at least 200 million girls and women are alive today living in 30 countries have undergone FGM
worldwide prevalence of female genital mutilation. |
According to Ayan Hirsi Ali Somalia born American social activist who is also a victim of FGM at the age of 5 says that 5 lakh girls in America are at risk of FGM or have already been the victim of FGM. FGM is performed within the Bohra community in India, Pakistan, Yemen, and East Africa.
This practice is a paper ban in many countries. However, it is still practiced illegally in the 21st century, and the government has failed to curb it. The biggest irony is that this practice is more prevalent in developed countries like USA and England than in developing countries like India. In these developed countries, which give lectures to the world on human rights, democracy, and liberal thoughts and freedom, this barbaric practice is carried out in front of their eyes, which is a real surprise. However, instead of giving free advice to each other, this evil practice should be stopped all over the world ASAP.
Really very barbaric malpractice towards small girls in darkness of ignorance....
