Female Genital Mutilation Banned In Sudan
Sudan has abolished female genital mutilation. The procedure involves removing the clitoris and other external genitalia from girls in order to curb sexual exuberance among them.
The law also recommends a three-year incarceration for offenders. The north-east African country is noted for its high prevalence of the procedure. Anti-FGM campaigners have welcomed the news.
About half of African countries over the years have passed legislations against FGM. The procedure has been noted to leave permanent physical and psychological scars on its victims.
