This is a short film I created to raise
awareness of Female Genital Mutilation in
response to my Biology of Women course. Tags :femalegenitalmutilationbiologyofwomen
This video was created in hopes of educating
people about FGM's and why they are
performed. This video is solely for

This is a video that shows a real
circumcision.
Graphic content. Please do not watch if you
can't cope with the pain of the poor girl.
I have uploaded this video, because it should
be used AGAINST Fgm.
I do NOT tolerate any racial or sexist
comments!!! Tags :fgmcircumcisionpainfemalegenitalmutilationhorrortorturefightagainstabolish
Female genital mutilation, or FGM, is a
traditional practice that is performed
throughout the Horn of Africa and other parts
of the continent. The procedure is often
called female circumcision, and it is illegal
but still common in the self-declared
republic of Somaliland, where health care
workers, activists and others are working to
end it. Tags :SomalilandHargeysaBurcoBosasoMuqdishoDahirRiyaleCabdulahiYusufuPaltalkNuurCadeGeediPutland
Every year around 2 million girls around the
world are at risk of genital mutilation and
cutting. UNICEF is committed to ending this
practice. At this ceremony in Senegal, women
and religious leaders publicly declare the
practice over in their communities.
Overturning years of tradition and religious
belief in the name of human rights, the
government pronounces it illegal. The NGO
Tostan is a key UNICEF partner in the
campaign to end FGM. Its community-based
method of teaching and explaining to children
and leaders alike, the issues surrounding
women's rights and health have been chosen by
the World Health Organisation as the best way
of eradicating the practice. Credits:
