Global Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) Rates Higher Than Previously Estimated affecting 1 in 13 girls/women mostly in Islamic countries

When will the cruelty of FGM be abolished!

It is shocking that FGM is apparently  also practiced in some Western countries.

Why are women's rights groups so unusually deafening silent on this topic?

"... FGM comprises all procedures that involve partial or total removal of the external female genitalia for non-medical reasons. It’s nearly always done to prepubescent girls, with most girls being cut before the age of 5. ...

The universally-cited estimate of FGM’s global prevalence is UNICEF’s 230 million. It is, however, a significant underestimate: FGM is practised in at least 90 countries, but UNICEF’s estimate is based on data from only 31, mainly African, countries.

CSPII’s report uses numerical data from 77 countries, including those where FGM has only recently been introduced, such as those in Europe, North America, and Australia. The report also identifies 20 countries for which there are reports of FGM being practised, but no numerical data.

The report finds the prevalence of FGM to be between 291 and 304 million: 1 in 13 girls/women alive today. It also finds that about 80% of this prevalence is attributable to Islamic populations and 20% to non-Islamic populations, and that about 23.5% of Islamic girls/women have undergone FGM compared to about 2% of non-Islamic girls/women. ..."

Gambia’s Ongoing Battle against female genital mutilation

It is one thing to outlaw something, it is quite another to consequently prosecute violators!

Contrast this with the hubris of Western countries, where double mastectomy of girls or teenagers is allowed, because they are diagnosed with the quackery of so called "gender dysphoria". I call that female genital mutilation!

"Throughout the year, scores of women have protested outside of Gambia’s parliament as lawmakers considered reversing the country’s ban on female genital mutilation—a worrisome shift that would have been a global first.

Background: FGM was outlawed in Gambia in 2015, but had never been prosecuted until last year—leading to a backlash and a proposal to reverse the ban. 

Status: Lawmakers rejected the proposal in July, keeping the ban intact.

But the real battle to end the practice continues, ”far from the parliament’s chambers and across rural areas” where FGM is still prevalent and remains a highly sensitive topic."

The Gambia may allow female genital mutilation again – another sign of a global trend eroding women’s rights. Really!

May sound shocking to citizens of Western countries, but Gambia may want to pursue its own path to independence.

Well in Western countries they allow double mastectomy to be performed on teenage girls by monstrous doctors following some gender dysphoria ideology. Double standard?

"The Gambia’s ban on female genital mutilation (FGM) since 2015 is under threat. Proposed changes before parliament could permit medicalised female genital cutting and allow it for consenting adults. ..."

The leftist zero tolerance Fight for a female genital mutilation Free Future in Africa and Arab countries, but not in Western countries!

How do you spell hypocrisy? Like shallow propaganda and demagoguery!

How much genital mutilation is involved with so called "gender affirming care" for transgender adolescents?

"... ~4.4 million girls worldwide are at risk of female genital mutilation this year. The practice spans every continent but is most prevalent in Africa and Arab states. ...

Detransitioner Sues Medical Providers for performing double mastectomy At 16

Surgeons who perform double mastectomy on adolescent females are monsters unless there was an exceptional reason other than gender dysphoria for this! Their licenses should be revoked!

These doctors violated their Hippocratic Oath!

Detransitioner: Immer mehr Fälle bekannt, in denen die Opfer Therapien oder Operationen bitter bereuen

Schlagzeile des Tages! Genau! Das D fehlt in LGBTQ! Habe hier auch vor drei Tagen dazu gebloggt.

Für Frauen/Mädchen die transition wollen bedeutet dass weibliche Genitalverstümmelung und doppelte Mastektomie! Das wird dann beschönigend "geschlechtsbejahende Pflege" genannt.

"Dass die in England und den USA blühende „Jung und trans“-Mode ohne Opfer bleibt, ist ein Irrglaube. Der Idee, ein anderes Geschlecht zu sein, folgen gefährliche Eingriffe und irreversible Hormongaben. Die sie in Anspruch nahmen, sind oft für's Leben gezeichnet. Immer mehr melden sich zu Wort, die zurück wollen, was in vielen Fällen nicht möglich ist. ..."

“I feel like a monster”: Detransitioner Speaks out on 'Gender Affirming Care' and so called gender dysphoria

Very recommendable! Caution: Potentially disturbing language! Every day we learn more about the ordeal from detransitioners. Like in this case, female genital mutilation, testosterone treatment, and double mastectomy was applied. Horror!
