Female genital mutilation being performed in Canada: Report

It’s often a sensitive and stigmatizing reality, but a new report shines a light on the realities of female genital mutilation here in Canada.

Female genital mutilation, a violation of human rights, is increasingly being practised in health facilities, with some 52 million women and girls who have suffered female genital mutilation in medical facilities, as the World Health Organization (WHO) has warned, urging them to refuse to practice it and to report on its harm to health.
