QSV Supporting the Abandonment of Female Genital Cutting

Education supports and inspires girls in Senegal and teaches them about their human rights.

Female Genital Cutting is a procedure that intentionally alters the female genital organ for non-medical reasons in order to control a woman’s “chastity.” This harmful practice is carried out on young African girls sometimes from infancy and can even be forced on adult women. Anyone who supports the end of the practice can collaborate with QSV in spreading awareness.

We have taught nearly 300 girls lecturing in the privacy of their homes and in the public to teenagers and women throughout the years passing out educational pamphlets and brochures throughout the years educating communities about this dangerous cultural practice.

World Health Organization [WHO] Fact Sheet

Female genital cutting (FGC) includes procedures that intentionally alter or cause injury to the female genital organs for non-medical reasons.
The procedure has no health benefits for girls and women.
Procedures can cause severe bleeding and problems urinating, and later cysts, infections, infertility as well as complications in childbirth and increased risk of newborn deaths.
More than 125 million girls and women alive today have been cut in the 29 countries in Africa and Middle East where FGM is concentrated (1).
FGM is mostly carried out on young girls sometime between infancy and age 15.
FGM is a violation of the human rights of girls and women.

WHO is particularly concerned about the increasing trend for medically trained personnel to perform FGM. WHO strongly urges health professionals not to perform such procedures.
