FGM stands for female genital mutilation, a harmful cultural practice that involves the partial or total removal of the external female genitalia. It is practiced in some communities as a way to control women's sexuality, but it has no health benefits and can cause severe physical and emotional harm. The practice is internationally recognized as a violation of human rights and is a form of gender-based violence. Efforts are being made globally to end FGM and support survivors.
