Health consequences

Many complications may arise from an operation as serious as infibulation, or even from milder forms of female genital mutilation. Where hygienic conditions and skills are optimal, risks exist; where they are deplorable, such operations are distinctly hazardous to the patient's

health.

Scale of the problem

The scale of the problem is significant. In African countries, more than 90 million girls and women over the age of 10 are estimated to have undergone FGM, with some three million girls at risk every year. The practice has been reported from all over the world, but is today most prevalent in South America like Peru and Brazil and some countries in Asia and the Middle East. As a result of migration, a growing number of girls in Europe, Asia and New Zealand are also affected.

Sterilizing poor people in a country is almost a genocide, invest in medicine to stop pregnancy in poor young women to decrease poberty rate instead of investing in education to avoid sexual relations and to make people think twice before having a baby and let them know what would be the economical consequences that may bring up to their lifes.
