WORLD DAY AGAINST FEMALE GENITAL MUTILATION (FGM) FEBUARY 6TH 2024

 

 

 

 

 FEMALE GENITAL MUTILATION (FGM) refers to procedures involving partial or total removal of the female (external) organs.

 
It is most often carried out on young girls between infancy and age 15. No matter how it is practiced, FGM is a violation of girls' and women’s fundamental human rights, including their rights to health, security, and dignity.
 
IT IS A RISK FOR WOMEN and GIRLS ...as it can lead to serious, long-term complications and even death
 
WOCON joins the UN, UNICEF, and the rest of the world in saying "NO" TO FEMALE GENITAL MUTILATION (FGM)
