Female Genital Mutilation Is Violence. Stop It Now!

Female Genital Mutilation has no health benefits, and it harms girls and women in many ways. It involves removing and damaging healthy and normal female genital tissue, and interferes with the natural functions of girls’ and women’s bodies. Immediate complications can include severe pain, shock, haemorrhage (bleeding), tetanus or sepsis (bacterial infection), urine retention, open sores in the genital region and injury to nearby genital tissue. # stop FGM Now!! #Generation Initiative for Women and Youths Network July 4, 2015
