Today’s post was triggered by part of a mother’s question yesterday:

‘Hello Dr Ketch… Is circumcision okay for my baby girl?’

It is a question that many mothers ask quietly. Some ask because of culture. Some ask because of pressure. Others ask because ‘everyone in our family does it.’

So let’s talk about it…

Female circumcision, also called Female Genital Mutilation (FGM), has no medical benefit. None.

But it carries immediate and long-term health risks.

As mothers, our role is not to conform to harmful traditions. Our role is to protect.

This reel explains:
• What FGM is
• Why it is done
• The health risks involved
• And why protecting our daughters matters

Please read all slides.

Save this post and share it with another mother. Education protects lives.
