Clitoridotomy

Clitoridotomy

A clitoridotomy, also known as female genital cutting or female genital mutilation (FGM), is a controversial surgical procedure involving the partial or total removal of the clitoris in females, often practiced in certain cultural or religious contexts. This invasive procedure, considered a form of gender-based violence, carries significant physical, psychological, and emotional consequences for those subjected to it. Typically performed without anesthesia, clitoridotomy involves excising parts of the clitoris, which is a sensitive organ crucial for sexual pleasure. The procedure can lead to severe pain, bleeding, infections, and long-term complications, including chronic pain, urinary issues, sexual dysfunction, and psychological trauma. Despite being condemned by international human rights organizations and banned in many countries, clitoridotomy persists in some communities due to deeply entrenched cultural beliefs, social norms, and misconceptions about tradition and femininity. Efforts by activists, healthcare professionals, and policymakers aim to raise awareness, provide education, and implement legal measures to eradicate this harmful practice and safeguard the rights and well-being of women and girls worldwide.
