FGM is normally carried out between infancy and age fifteen.
Oh god.
Yeah, though older girls and women they can be subjected to it.
It's most often performed by traditional practitioners on really young girls.
Usually not, no.
So in many communities it has traditionally been performed by self proclaimed circumcisors, you know, elders or other respected members of the community, often with no formal medical training.
And they're using razors, knives, scissors, or yeah, whatever instruments are available.
And anesthesia, really uncommon.
Right, which, you know, leads to, you know, the sterile conditions are usually absent.
Ugh.
God.
There's been a disturbing development though within healthcare professionals who are increasingly performing it, but that's a very recent change.
Either way it infringes on the most fundamental human rights, the right to health, to security, to dignity, to bodily autonomy, and in cases where the procedure leads to death, which it does, the right to life itself.
You know, that's why organizations around the world consider this a human rights issue.
Jeez.
Well, you know, the word you choose it tells people what kind of conversation you're trying to have, you know, who's in the room here.
Mutilation is the term used by most international human rights organizations because they want to make one thing unmistakably clear.
This is a human rights violation involving a child's body.
It's child abuse.
It's not simply a cultural tradition people happen to disagree about.
