INTRODUCTION
Female genital mutilation (FGM) is a
term now generally accepted for the traditional practices that involves injury
or removal of part or all of the external genitalia of girls and women. It does
not include genital surgery performed for medically prescribed reasons. Prior
to the adoption of “female genital mutilation”, the practices were referred to
as female circumcision, a term still in common use and preferred by the
majority of people in communities where it is practiced.
Traditions are the customs, beliefs
and values of a community which govern and influence people’s behavior.
Traditions constitute learned habits which are passed on from generation to
generation. Traditions are often guided by taboos and they are not easy to
change. People adhere to these patterns of behavior, believing that they are
the right things to do.
This training is aimed at
strengthening community-based preventive work to protect the rights of children
(as enshrined in the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child) with a
particular view to reducing the risk to girls and young women in Africa of
undergoing genital mutilation in all its forms.
