Female Genital Mutilation is violence against the girl-child
Do
you know that female genital mutilation is the partial or total
extirpation of the external female genital organs for non-medical
reasons? This
act has caused terrible damage to the organs of girls, as it causes
intense pain and can cause prolonged bleeding, infections, infertility and even death. This is a violation against the right of a girl that you should be aware of. Many of you whose parents are aware of the campaign against this are lucky to have escaped the terrible act, but what about other girls in the villages? What about your friends whose parents, those educated, still believe in the tradition of female genital mutilation?Did you know that despite the campaign against this act, we could have had a case last week, but because of the intervention of the mother who escaped with her twins in the state of Imo? Last week it was reported in the Vanguard Newspapers that a Mrs. Vivian Ogechi Nwanebu, from Umuoku, Umuazalaukwu in the state of Imo, prevented some traditionalists from practicing female genital mutilation on their 10-year-old twin daughters. This is not necessary since these traditionalists did not even bother to subject these children to the pains of this mutilation. As a child, you should know that it is your right to reject it as it is labeled as harmful practices against children and it is one of the goals of the United Nations to be totally eliminated by 2030. All girls should know that it is a violation of their rights and You have the right to refuse it.
