For the first time, WHO is issuing guidelines to help health workers provide better physical and psychological care for these girls and women. Female genital mutilation, or FGM, involves the partial or total removal of external genitalia or other injury to the female genital organs for non-medical reasons. The practice is prevalent in 30 African countries, as well as a few countries in Asia and the Middle East. In addition, with increased global migration, more cases of FGM are occurring in Europe and North America.
Lale Say, coordinator in WHO's Department of Reproductive Health and Research, says FGM can cause as pain, severe bleeding and even death. "It has high risks during pregnancy and childbirth, both for the woman who is delivering, but also for her baby,” Say said. “It can cause obstetric tears, difficult labor and even loss of the baby at the time of the delivery. Other health problems, longer-term health problems, include … psychological risks, depression, anxiety and post-traumatic stress disorder."

WHO notes that health workers often are unaware of the negative consequences of FGM and do not know how to treat them. The health agency's new recommendations focus on preventing and treating obstetric complications, and on helping women with depression and anxiety disorders. The guidelines also warn against the so-called medicalization of FGM.
To that end, doctors must refuse requests from family members to perform FGM, says WHO medical officer Doris Chou. "Medicalization is never acceptable because it violates medical ethics, as it is a harmful practice,” Chou said. “Medicalization itself perpetuates FGM, and the risks outweigh any perceived benefits. … As health care providers, we actually need to recall that we need to uphold the Hippocratic oath — and that is to do no harm." WHO says the guidelines can help ongoing global efforts to end female genital mutilation by better informing the health community about the many health risks associated with the practice.
WHO Guidelines Aim to Help Millions of Victims of Female Genital Mutilation
If there needs to be a war for anything in this world, it is for the final liberation of our sisters.
Enough of this bull dung.
Once again, testimony to feeble comprehension abilities.If there needs to be a war for anything in this world, it is for the final liberation of our sisters.
Enough of this bull dung.
LOL. You girls bring your little black dresses, the Men willbring our little black rifles and we can see who wins.
It's not like the purpose of sex is to make women happy. If done right it leads to 9 months of utter bitchiness and then 18 years of motherhood for the woman.
Calling the procedure Female Genital Mutilation is an invented term used by western busybodies and self styled do-gooders.If there needs to be a war for anything in this world, it is for the final liberation of our sisters.
Enough of this bull dung.
Removing a clit is just circumcision? Why care about a culture stuck in the 6th century and causing very serious global problems? Seriously?Calling the procedure Female Genital Mutilation is an invented term used by western busybodies and self styled do-gooders.If there needs to be a war for anything in this world, it is for the final liberation of our sisters.

In reality it's just female circumcision.
Heck, we have male circumcision here in America and no one raises a fuss about it.
The bottom line, it is their country, culture and tradition. So who are we to say whether it's right or wrong?
Why can't people just mind their own business? .......
We'll leave 'Ana's' sisters out of it. The rest of the women in the world should be free.

Why on earth would any sensible Man want that to happen?
The cultural practice of female circumcision is rooted in traditional values and morality going back thousands of years.
Yet silly western people have decided in the last few decades to try and force people who live on the other side of the world to abandon the ritual because it offends them. ........
Because some people want a PARTNER, not the live-in cook, maid, penis holster and punching bag you have.
Socialism allows a cult like Islam to do such things...Where's Shrillary and the NAGS (National Association of Women) on this? See the CNN video and read the story @ FGM: 200 million women and girls mutilated - CNN.com
