was present at the stakeholders engagement meeting.

Female ge***al mutilation (FGM) also known as female circumcision or cutting, involves procedures that intentionally alter or cause injury to the female ge***al organs for non-medical reasons.

The World Health Organization (WHO) classifies FGM into four major types:

1. Type 1: Clitoridectomy: Partial or total removal of the cl****is (a small sensitive organ located in the v***a) and/or the prepuce (cl****al hood).
2. Type 2: Excision: Partial or total removal of the cl****is and the l***a minora (inner lips of the v***a), with or without excision of the l***a majora (outer lips of the v***a).
3. Type 3: Infibulation: Narrowing of the va**nal opening through the cutting and repositioning of the l***a minora and/or l***a majora, sometimes with stitching. The procedure creates a covering over the va**na, with a small opening left for urine and menstrual flow. This opening is often cut open for in*******se and childbirth.
4. Type 4: Other: All other harmful procedures to the female ge***alia for non-medical purposes, for example pricking, piercing, cutting, scraping and burning.
