Female genital mutilation (FGM), also known as Female Genital Cutting (FGC) in Nigeria accounts for the most female genital cutting/mutilation (FGM/C) cases worldwide. The practice is customarily a family tradition that the young female of the age 0-15 would experience. It is a procedure that involves partial or completely removing the external females genitalia or other injury to the female genital organs whenever for non-medical reasons.

  • La mutilación genital femenina (MGF), también conocida como corte genital femenino (CGF) en Nigeria, representa la mayoría de los casos de esta práctica en todo el mundo.​ Son habitualmente una tradición familiar que experimentan las mujeres jóvenes de 0 a 15 años. Es un procedimiento que consiste en extirpar parcial o completamente los genitales externos de las mujeres u otra lesión en los órganos genitales femeninos siempre que no sea por razones médicas. ​ Se considera perjudicial para las niñas y mujeres y una violación de los derechos humanos.​ La mutilación genital femenina causa infertilidad, muerte materna, infecciones y pérdida del placer sexual.​ A nivel nacional, el 27% de las mujeres nigerianas entre 15 y 49 años fueron víctimas de la mutilación genital, hasta 2012.​ En los últimos 30 años, la prevalencia de la práctica ha disminuido a la mitad en algunas partes de Nigeria.​ En mayo de 2015, el entonces presidente Goodluck Jonathan firmó una ley federal que prohíbe la mutilación genital femenina.​ Los opositores a la práctica citan este movimiento como un importante avance en África, ya que Nigeria es el país más poblado y ha establecido un precedente importante.​ Aunque la práctica ha disminuido, activistas y académicos dicen que es necesario un cambio cultural para abolirla, ya que la nueva ley no cambiará singularmente la violencia más amplia contra las mujeres en Nigeria.

  • Female genital mutilation (FGM), also known as Female Genital Cutting (FGC) in Nigeria accounts for the most female genital cutting/mutilation (FGM/C) cases worldwide. The practice is customarily a family tradition that the young female of the age 0-15 would experience. It is a procedure that involves partial or completely removing the external females genitalia or other injury to the female genital organs whenever for non-medical reasons. The practice is considered harmful to girls and women and a violation of human rights. FGM causes infertility, maternal death, infections, and the loss of sexual pleasure. Nationally, 27% of Nigerian women between the ages of 15 and 49 were victims of FGM, as of 2012. In the last 30 years, prevalence of the practice has decreased by half in some parts of Nigeria. In May 2015, then President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan signed a federal law banning FGM. Opponents of the practice cite this move as an important step forward in Africa, as Nigeria is the most populous country and has set an important precedent. Though the practice has declined, activists and scholars say a cultural shift is necessary to abolish the practice, as the new law will not singularly change the wider violence against women in Nigeria.
