Overview
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimated that up to 513,000 women and girls across the U.S. have undergone or are at risk of female genital mutilation (FGM), of whom 171,000 are children. Typically inflicted on defenseless girls between birth and fifteen years old, female genital mutilation (FGM) is an internationally recognized form of child abuse. Girls traumatized by FGM can face threats to their immediate health through shock, hemorrhage, infections and septicemia. Long-term health risks include chronic pain, repeat infections, urinary problems, obstetric complications and life-long psychological trauma.
Objectives
At the end of this course, participants will be able to:
- Define Female genital mutilation (FGM).
- Detail the severe harm FGM can cause to a child and the woman she becomes.
- Recognize the extent of FGM in the United States of America.
- Identify a woman or child at risk of, or potentially suffering from, FGM.
- Apprehend the range of medical interventions available to support women and girls impacted by FGM.
