Abstract
Another article on FGM ???? even millions of pages on this cruel practice of mutilation is not enough to describe the clear violation of physical and psychological rights of girls and women’s sexuality for the benefit of men. This purpose is justified in the realm of the cleansing of the female body, religious passages, family, caste etc. FGM can never be classified as a part of culture because scrapping an organ is the cruelest form of torture in the name of absurdity. In this process, the women become the commodity herself, betrayed and her trust destroyed, robbed of her health and sexual pleasure. FGM the highest form of human rights abuse is found almost everywhere not in the African community alone. Female Genital Mutilation, a serious crime must be
stopped and should be considered everyone’s business to hope for a future FGM free world
