Spanish Women Detail FGM Horror

El Mundo

Several Spanish women, including Marguerite, Asha, and Sulekha, have recounted their horrific experiences with female genital mutilation (FGM), revealing that over 70 victims were aided by Seville midwives in a single year. The accounts underscore the ongoing prevalence of this practice in Spain, where an estimated 80,000 women – including 18,500 girls at risk – originate from societies where FGM is customary. This highlights a serious human rights issue and the need for continued intervention and prevention efforts.
