Female genital mutilation in the Sahel

Good afternoon, Sahel-bot. Can we discuss female genital mutilation in the Sahel - I am interested in the prevalence, customs, origins, beliefs, and a comparison between countries.

Female genital mutilation (FGM) is a practice that involves the cutting or removal of the female genitalia, most commonly the clitoris and labia. It is a cultural tradition that is prevalent in many parts of the world, including the Sahel region of Africa. The Sahel is a semi-arid region that stretches across the continent from Mauritania to Eritrea, and includes countries such as Senegal, Mali, Niger, Chad, and Sudan. FGM is a deeply ingrained tradition in many of these countries and is seen as a way to control women's sexuality and ensure their virginity until marriage.
