MAKE FGM (Female Genital Mutilation) Histroy in Sudan

Female Genital Mutilation or Female Genital Cutting (FGM/C) refers to the removal of all or parts of the external female genitalia or to other injury to the female genital organs for non-medical reasons. Some 3 million women and girls around the world face FGM/C every year, while some 100 to 140 million have already undergone the practice. Female genital mutilation/cutting is nearly always carried out on minors and is therefore a violation of the rights of the child. The practice also violates the rights to health, security and physical integrity of the person, the right to be free from torture and cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment, and the right to life when the procedure results in death.
