Female Genital Mutilation (FGM)
The practice of female genital mutilation (FGM) has impacted an estimated 140 million girls and women worldwide, and it continues to affect at least 3 million girls annually in Africa. FGM carries many immediate and long-term health risks and is recognized internationally as a clear violation of human rights. FGM is enforced by community expectations about marriageability. The social consequences that uncut girls face can be severe.
