Female Genital Mutilation is the practice of removing most or all of the external genitalia or stitching up the labia to the point where it is only a minuscule opening. By stitching up the genitalia, a later procedure has to be performed to open the labia large enough for the birthing process. The procedures that are associated with Female Genital Mutilation often lead to gruesome hemorrhaging, infections, abscesses and loss of sensation during sex. The tools that are frequently used are below standard being that they are blunt objects such as dirty glass, tin cans, or penknives. The procedure is often performed when the young women aren’t able to make educated decisions about their health and opt out of this procedure. It is normally conducted between the age of three and ten years of age, which is appalling to people who are not aware of this
