Abstract :

It is an age-old practice which is perpetuated in many communities around the world simply because it is customary. FGM forms an important part, rites of passage ceremony for some communities, marking the coming of age of the female child. It is believed that, by mutilating the female‘s genital organs, her sexuality will be controlled; but above all it is to ensure a woman‘s virginity before marriage and chastity thereafter. In fact, FGM imposes on women and the girl child a catalogue of health complications and untold psychological problems.
