Female genital mutilation

Okay, so let's talk about something called female genital mutilation, or FGM for short. This is a practice that some people do in some parts of the world where they cut or alter parts of a girl's private area.

Now, you know that girls and boys have different body parts down there, right? Well, in some cultures, they think that cutting or altering a girl's private parts will make her more pure or look more beautiful. But it's actually really harmful and can cause a lot of problems, especially when the girl grows up.

The cutting or alteration can cause pain, infection, problems peeing or pooping, and even problems having sex or having a baby later on in life. It's not something that should ever be done to someone else's body without their consent, and it's actually illegal in many countries.

So, to sum it up, FGM is when some people cut or alter a girl's private parts, which can cause a lot of problems and is not okay to do.
