\"a<\/a>FGM is child abuse. It forces girls into a future of pain from the moment they are cut. There are four types FGM;<\/p>\n

Type 1:<\/em> <\/strong>The clitoris or clitoral hood is partially or fully removed (also known as clitoridectomy)
\nType 2:<\/em><\/strong> As well as the clitoris, the labia minora are partially or fully removed. The labia majora may also be cut
\nType 3:<\/em><\/strong> The clitoris, labia minora and labia majora are cut away, and the remaining skin is sewn or sealed together leaving a tiny hole for menstrual blood and urine. This is commonly known as infibulation
\nType 4:<\/em><\/strong> All other harmful procedures to the female genitals including pricking, piercing, rubbing, scraping and the use of herbs or other substances.<\/p>\n
