FEMALE CIRCUMCISIONA

The act of changing or harming a woman's genitalia for non-medical purposes is known as female genital mutilation. An estimated 230 million women and girls worldwide have experienced female genital mutilation, which is acknowledged internationally as a violation of human rights. The number of girls who undergo female genital mutilation will continue to rise if the practice persists at current levels, even though it is decreasing in the majority of the countries where it is common.
