FGM

WARNING: THIS VIDEO COULD BE DISTURBING FOR SOME VIEWERS BUT IT IS HOW REALITY IS IN SOME COUNTRIES.


In the video, a girl named Maria is sewn into a picturesque scene, only to be abruptly torn from her home. Her nose is sliced off, her ear is removed and closed shut and her lips are the last to get sealed together .
Female Genital Mutilation, which involves partial or total removal of the female genitalia for non-medical reasons, is illegal in the UK. In fact, it’s classified as an act of child abuse and carries a prison sentence of up to 14 years.
The numerous health risks include heavy bleeding, developing sepsis, urinary tract infections, cysts and becoming infertile, according to WHO (World Health Organization).
