Female Genital Mutilation, otherwise known as Female Genital Cutting is an age-long practice found among people of different tribes, race and religion with no obvious health benefit. It has many adverse impacts on a woman’s reproductive and sexual life and is currently considered a violation of a woman’s fundamental rights. Education and financial empowerment of the girl-child and strong political will to enact and enforce legislations against this practice will go a long way in curbing the menace.
