Female Genital Mutilation in Today’s Society
Purpose
To inform my audience about Female Genital Mutilation and the demerits and perils it
exposes those caught up in this act of barbarism. Additionally, this speech seeks to create
awareness on the need to join hands, at every level of contemporary society, to shun and eject
the practice through endorsement of enforceable laws aimed at its scrapping on a global
scale.
1. Introduction
Attention getter: Envision the pain experienced during child birth. Envision experiencing half
the pain. Picture yourself being subjected forcibly to undergo such pain. That is what is
referred to as Female Genital Mutilation.
According to the WHO, Female Genital Mutilation is any form of cutting or removal
of some or all part of the genital organs of a woman, especially excision of the clitoris. This
process is encouraged mostly by elders and parents in most African countries. There are also
cases of this practice in the Middle East and Asian countries (1).
Thesis Statement: Ignorance on the impacts of Female Genital Mutilation has left the
girl-child suffering for such a long time while exposed to possible bleeding to death, infection
by transmittable maladies and stigmatization owing to subjection to this archaic practice.
2. Reasons for FGM
Surname 2
a. Religious purification: Most societies that practice this act have cultural
beliefs with baseless proof on how it religiously purifies a woman (Burrage,
40).
b. Reduction of a woman’s libido: Most communities believe that this act assists
a woman to resist extramarital sexual acts through curtailing on their libido
and sexual drive (WHO 1). Nonetheless, FGM has no proven health benefits
as it only causes harm to girls and women in numerous ways. It involves
interfering with normal functions of girls and women’s bodies.
3. Consequences of Female Genital Mutilation
a. Severe pain: The practice is mostly carried out by traditional circumcisers who
use traditional herbs to numb the consequential pain, which is not effective.
Furthermore, the practice is very painful as it also involves removal of the
inner folds of the vulva.
b. High chances of complications during childbirth: Girls and women who
undergo this practice have high chances of experiencing complications during
child delivery such as the need to resuscitate the baby, caesarean section,
excessive bleeding and other complications (Reisel & Creighton 49).
c. There is need to eradicate this act as it causes untold suffering to victims.
There have been measures to counteract this practice mostly at both the
international level and local levels, albeit more pro-activeness is warranted to
curb the practice altogether.
4. Measures against FGM
a. Elimination of FGM Internationally: In 2008, the WHO and 9 other United
Nations member countries issued a statement prohibiting this practice (WHO
1).

b. Anti-FGM laws: African nations such as Mali and Kenya have adopted laws
that facilitate the abolishment of this inhumane practice (Bowman &
Kuenyehia 435). Therefore, there is need to develop laws, on a wider scope,
that ensure that there is complete eradication of this practice to protect the girl
child against such mutilation.
Conclusion
Having addressed the reasons behind FGM, its severe implications and the need to develop
legal measures that ensure that this practice is completely eradicated, there is need for
everybody to play his or her part in ensuring that this practice does not persist proliferating
both in Africa and the world as whole.
There should be no more ignorance on Female Genital Mutilation anymore. Everyone
should ensure that education on the perils of FGM is undertaken to sensitize all people in all
societies as ignorance on this barbarism and archaism has far-reaching implications on
everybody in the whole world than contemplated.
