Academic Paper from the year 2023 in the subject Politics - Topic: Public International Law and Human Rights, grade: A, Near East University (Graduate Institute), course: Law, language: English, abstract: This piece aims to uncover the infringement of human rights caused by female genital mutilation (FGM) in Liberia, as well as to explore the adverse physical and psychological consequences that women and girls experience as a result of FGM. Furthermore, it will examine the efforts being made to eliminate FGM in Liberia and call for action to end this harmful traditional practice. The nonmedical removal of external female genitalia, known as female genital mutilation, is a violation of the human rights of women and girls and is a harmful and invasive practice. This procedure is often done without consent or anesthesia in unsanitary conditions. Despite being illegal, FGM is still widely practiced in Liberia. Female genital mutilation causes serious health complications for women and girls. While some women and girls may not experience any physical sensations from undergoing this harmful traditional practice, many have tragically lost their lives as a result of it. The harmful practice of female genital mutilation has caused significant harm to women and girls. Experts recommend either eliminating the practice entirely or only performing it with the individual's consent, and not when they are unable to make decisions about their bodies. In conclusion, research has shown that female genital mutilation is a harmful tradition that must be completely eradicated.
