FGM means, female genital mutilation.
Many people do not know what this is although it is a huge problem all around
the world and is costing many lives of young girls.
Effects
FGM is untrained women who cut out the outside
of girls’ private parts (down below). When the nurses do this the knives are
not sterilised and even sometimes cut them with broken glass which can cause
infection. Not only will this cause terrible infection but can be a cause blood
loss is also a big risk of death. You have no anaesthetics during this and you
aren’t put to sleep either.
Child abuse and human rights
This is against human rights because everyone
has a right to privacy and if they haven’t given permission to have this
surgery that is against their human rights. Another human right this is against
is the right to do what you want with your body and they are forcing you to
have this operation it is against you human rights.
If the people are operating on a child of
course it is child abuse because they have no pain killer and aren’t put to
sleep so the patients are in so much pain.
