SAVE THE GIRLS
01
Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) is a harmful traditional practice involving the cutting or removal of the external female genitals. It has existed for more than 2,000 years and is performed on girls from birth, up to just before marriage, and sometimes beyond. FGM is also known as "female circumcision" or "cutting", and by other terms locally.
​
The WHO identifies four types of FGM:
Type I: Partial or total removal of the clitoris and/or the prepucerisque.
Type III: Narrowing of the vaginal orifice with creation of a covering seal by cutting and appositioning the labia minora and/or the labia majora, with or without excision of the clitoris.
EXCISION
Type II: Partial or total removal of the clitoris and the labia minora, with or without excision of the labia majora.
OTHER HARMFUL PROCEDURES
Type IV: All other harmful procedures to the female genitalia for non-medical purposes, for example: pricking, piercing, incising, scraping and cauterisation.
