Female circumcision, also known as female genital mutilation (FGM), is a harmful, unethical, and illegal practice that involves the partial or total removal of the external female genitalia for non-medical reasons. FGM has no health benefits and causes severe physical and psychological harm, including bleeding, infection, chronic pain, childbirth complications, psychological trauma, and even death. FGM is a violation of human rights and has been condemned and outlawed by the majority of the international community. Doctors and other medical professionals must reject and speak out against FGM, and governments must take steps to raise awareness of its dangers, enforce existing laws prohibiting the practice, and support victims of FGM in their recovery.
