Understanding Infibulation: The Dangers of Female Genital Mutilation

Infibulation is a form of female genital mutilation (FGM) that involves the narrowing of the vaginal opening by stitching or cutting the labia minora and/or the clitoris. It is sometimes performed as a way to prevent premarital sex, promote chastity, or to control women's sexuality. However, it can have serious physical and psychological consequences, including pain during sex, difficulty urinating, infection, and emotional trauma.

Infibulation is considered a form of violence against women and girls and is illegal in many countries. It is important to work towards ending the practice of infibulation and other forms of FGM, and to support those who have been affected by it.
