What is genital mutilation, and how is it connected with AIDS?

What will be an ideal response?


• Genital mutilation involves cutting off the clitoris and labia.
• It is closely related to femicide because of the high rate of fatalities due to poor sanitation of instruments used, leading to infection and a high mortality rate, as well as risk for contracting AIDS.
• Unknown numbers of girls and women who are butchered in this way contract the AIDS virus.
• Contraction of AIDS can either be due to the crude, unsanitary instruments used or in early adulthood, due to the genital bleeding related to the mutilation when intercourse takes place. When the man is infected, the infection spreads.
