Female genital mutilation: 30 million girls
'at risk'
Circumcision isn’t just for boys or men.
Female circumcision, or Female Genital Mutilation, F.G.M., is still a popular practice
mainly in Africa and the Middle East where Islam and Judaism are the most
common belief. It is estimated that over 100 million women alive today would
have undergone such painful and harmful surgical procedure without medical
reasons.
The good news is that even more men in
certain area where the practice is still popular are against FGM than women.
The bad news is that it is overwhelmingly popular in some places such as
Somalia, Egypt and Sudan.
Enjoy reading and learning about this physically
and mentally dangerous practice still popular in today’s world.
