Reversing Female Circumcision: The Cut That Heals
On the International Day for Zero Tolerance for Female Genital Mutilation, VICE News reports on a little-known surgery that restores sexual function to the clitoris for women who had their genitals mutilated as children. We meet and follow a 32-year-old prospective patient who was mutilated at the age of six in Somalia, and who now lives and works as a nurse in the United States.
Female genital mutilation (FGM) is a cultural tradition that affects millions of women worldwide. Sometimes referred to as female circumcision or female genital cutting, the practice varies in severity depending on where it is performed. The procedure can range from minor nicks to the clitoris to the total removal of the clitoris and labia. In its severest form, the two sides of the vulva are sewn together, leavi...

Female Genital Mutilation Survivors In The U.S. Are Fighting Back
When Jane was about 9, her mother drove her and her friend to a Houston strip mall. She told Jane there was something dirty on their bodies that needed to be cleaned. There, in an empty room, a woman subjected them to female genital mutilation.
“I remember feeling pain for a good three weeks after that. I was continuously bleeding, it hurt to use the restroom,” Jane, who is now 28, said. “It was never something that was discussed even after it happened.”
Jane, who spoke anonymously to protect her family’s identity, is one of a growing number of American survivors breaking the silence on the centuries-old practice of FGM. Despite reports of FGM being performed on Americans, in December a Michigan district judge struck down a federal ban on the practice, leaving girls in many states at inc...

What is female genital mutilation? (FGM) (BBC Hindi)
आम तौर पुरुषों का ख़तना किया जाता है लेकिन दुनिया के कई देशों में महिलाओँ को भी इस दर्दनाक प्रक्रिया से गुजरना पड़ता है. संयुक्त राष्ट्र की परिभाषा के मुताबिक, "एफ़जीएम की प्रक्रिया में लड़की के जननांग के बाहरी हिस्से को काट दिया जाता है या इसकी बाहरी त्वचा निकाल दी जाती है." संयुक्त राष्ट्र की परिभाषा के मुताबिक, "एफ़जीएम की प्रक्रिया में लड़की के जननांग के बाहरी हिस्से को काट दिया जाता है या इसकी बाहरी त्वचा निकाल दी जाती है." यूएन इसे 'मानवाधिकारों का उल्लंघन' मानता है. दिसंबर 2012 में संयुक्त राष्ट्र महासभा ने एक प्रस्ताव पारित किया जिसमें एफ़जीएम को दुनिया भर से ख़त्म करने का संकल्प लिया गया था. महिला खतना के बारे में जागरूकता बढ़ाने और इसे रोकने के मकसद से यूएन ने साल की 6 फ़रवरी तारीख़ को 'इंटरनेशनल डे ऑफ़ ज़ीरो टॉलरेंस फ़ॉर एफ़जीएम' घोषित किया है. लड़कियों का खतना किशोरावस्था से पह...

We meet and follow a 32-year-old prospective patient who was mutilated at the age of six in Somalia, and who now lives and works as a nurse in the United States.
Female genital mutilation (FGM) is a cultural tradition that affects millions of women worldwide. Sometimes referred to as female circumcision or female genital cutting, the practice varies in severity depending on where it is performed. The procedure can range from minor nicks to the clitoris to the total removal of the clitoris and labia. In its severest form, the two sides of the vulva are sewn together, leaving only a small hole for menstruation and urination.
While the practice has been outlawed in many of the 29 countries where FGM is concentrated, it persists in some rural areas as a centuries-old cultural tradition, where it is usually performed by women elders as a part of a coming-of-age ritual. The tradition is sometimes believed to "purify" a woman and performed to preserve virginity before marriage.
The World Health Organization estimates that some 6,000 girls undergo FGM around the world every day. The procedure is often performed in unsafe and unsanitary conditions on girls between the ages of four and 12. FGM can be fatal, and can lead to immediate complications such as infections and urine retention, as well as long-term complications such as severe pain and tearing during intercourse and major complications during childbirth.
VICE News saw the result of the severest form of FGM first-hand in Dr. Marci Bowers' operating room in San Mateo, California, and watched as she performed a defibulation procedure — the re-opening of genitalia that had been sewn shut — and clitoroplasty, the reconstruction and restoration of sexual function to the clitoris.

The procedure is often performed in unsafe and unsanitary conditions on girls between the ages of four and 12. FGM can be fatal, and can lead to immediate complications such as infections and urine retention, as well as long-term complications such as severe pain and tearing during intercourse and major complications during childbirth.
VICE News saw the result of the severest form of FGM first-hand in Dr. Marci Bowers' operating room in San Mateo, California, and watched as she performed a defibulation procedure — the re-opening of genitalia that had been sewn shut — and clitoroplasty, the reconstruction and restoration of sexual function to the clitoris.

On the International Day for Zero Tolerance for Female Genital Mutilation, VICE News reports on a little-known surgery that restores sexual function to the clitoris for women who had their genitals mutilated as children. We meet and follow a 32-year-old prospective patient who was mutilated at the age of six in Somalia, and who now lives and works as a nurse in the United States.
Female genital mutilation (FGM) is a cultural tradition that affects millions of women worldwide. Sometimes referred to as female circumcision or female genital cutting, the practice varies in severity depending on where it is performed. The procedure can range from minor nicks to the clitoris to the total removal of the clitoris and labia. In its severest form, the two sides of the vulva are sewn together, leaving only a small hole for menstruation and urination.
While the practice has been outlawed in many of the 29 countries where FGM is concentrated, it persists in some rural areas as a centuries-old cultural tradition, where it is usually performed by women elders as a part of a coming-of-age ritual. The tradition is sometimes believed to “purify” a woman and performed to preserve virginity before marriage.
The World Health Organization estimates that some 6,000 girls undergo FGM around the world every day. The procedure is often performed in unsafe and unsanitary conditions on girls between the ages of four and 12. FGM can be fatal, and can lead to immediate complications such as infections and urine retention, as well as long-term complications such as severe pain and tearing during intercourse and major complications during childbirth.

What is female genital mutilation? (FGM) (BBC Hindi)

आम तौर पुरुषों का ख़तना किया जाता है लेकिन दुनिया के कई देशों में महिलाओँ को भी इस दर्दनाक प्रक्रिया से गुजरना पड़ता है. संयुक्त राष्ट्र की परिभाषा के मुताबिक, "एफ़जीएम की प्रक्रिया में लड़की के जननांग के बाहरी हिस्से को काट दिया जाता है या इसकी बाहरी त्वचा निकाल दी जाती है." संयुक्त राष्ट्र की परिभाषा के मुताबिक, "एफ़जीएम की प्रक्रिया में लड़की के जननांग के बाहरी हिस्से को काट दिया जाता है या इसकी बाहरी त्वचा निकाल दी जाती है." यूएन इसे 'मानवाधिकारों का उल्लंघन' मानता है. दिसंबर 2012 में संयुक्त राष्ट्र महासभा ने एक प्रस्ताव पारित किया जिसमें एफ़जीएम को दुनिया भर से ख़त्म करने का संकल्प लिया गया था. महिला खतना के बारे में जागरूकता बढ़ाने और इसे रोकने के मकसद से यूएन ने साल की 6 फ़रवरी तारीख़ को 'इंटरनेशनल डे ऑफ़ ज़ीरो टॉलरेंस फ़ॉर एफ़जीएम' घोषित किया है. लड़कियों का खतना किशोरावस्था से पहले यानी छह-सात साल की छोटी उम्र में ही करा दिया जाता है. इसके कई तरीके हैं. जैसे क्लिटरिस के बाहरी हिस्से में कट लगाना, या इसके बाहरी हिस्से की त्वचा निकाल देना. खतना से पहले एनीस्थीसिया भी नहीं दिया जाता. बच्चियां पूरे होशोहवास में रहती हैं और दर्द से चीखती हैं. पारंपरिक तौर पर इसके लिए ब्लेड या चाकू का इस्तेमाल करते हैं और खतना के बाद हल्दी, गर्म पानी और छोटे-मोटे मरहम लगाकर दर्द कम करने की कोशिश की जाती है. बोहरा मुस्लिम समुदाय से ताल्लुक रखने वाली इंसिया दरीवाला के मुताबिक 'क्लिटरिस' को बोहरा समाज में 'हराम की बोटी' कहा जाता है. बोहरा मुस्लिम मानते हैं कि इसकी मौजूदगी से लड़की की यौन इच्छा बढ़ती है. #EndFGM day
