What is FGM?
FGM is the short form for Female Genital Mutilation. FM is a harmful traditional practice
that involves the partial or total removal of external female genitalia or other injury to the
female genital organs, particularly the external female genitalia for non-medical reasons.
FGM is also called FGC. This means Female Genital Cutting. It is not uncommon to see
both abbreviations used together as FM/C in some literatures. It means Female Genital
Mutilation/ Cutting. It is still referring to the same procedure.
