FEMALE GENITAL MUTILATION

Female genital mutilation
Known also as female genital circumcision
Is very similar to male circumcision
One of the most common being excision

This crude practice is traditional
And one of the oldest and most harmful, which is cultural
Affecting the health of women and girls in the communities
Causing adverse effects on the female gender in societies

Involving surgical removal of parts of the female genital organ
Or all of the most sensitive parts of the female genital organ
This tribal practice jeopardizing women
Is unfortunately perpetuated by women

Practiced in some parts of the world and Africa
Posses concern especially to women in Africa
The unsterilized and blunt instrument used in the procedure
Deduce what victims endure

From area to area the ages differs
And the type of surgical forms differs
The most severe is infibulations
All in the motive to control sexual sensations

The ritual mostly accompanied by celebrations
While women excisors carry out the operation
Female genital mutilation causes health implications
As a result, psychological complications

Girls feel different when mutilated
Thus, mood swings and depression is noted among girls infibulated
The act condemned by the International Human Rights
As addressed by article 24(1&3) of Convention of Childs Rights
