DESCRIPTION:\n	(A/RES/67/146)\n\n\n\n	Female genital mutilation (FGM) co
	mprises all procedures that involve altering or injuring the female genita
	lia for non-medical reasons and is recognized internationally as a violati
	on of the human rights\, the health and the integrity of girls and women.\
	n\n\n\n	Girls who undergo female genital mutilation face short-term compli
	cations such as severe pain\, shock\, excessive bleeding\, infections\, an
	d difficulty in passing urine\, as well as long-term consequences for thei
	r sexual and reproductive health and mental health.\n\n\n\n	Although prima
	rily concentrated in 30 countries in Africa and the Middle East\, female g
	enital mutilation is a universal problem and is also practiced in some cou
	ntries in Asia and Latin America. Female genital mutilation continues to p
	ersist amongst immigrant populations living in Western Europe\, North Amer
	ica\, Australia and New Zealand.\n\n\n\n	In 2021\, the COVID-19 pandemic h
	as negatively and disproportionately affected girls and women\, resulting 
	in a shadow pandemic disrupting SDG target 5.3 on the elimination of all h
	armful practices including\, female genital mutilation. UNFPA estimates ad
	ditional 2 million girls projected to be at risk of undergoing female geni
	tal mutilation by 2030. In response to this disruption\, the United Nation
	s\, through its UNFPA-UNICEF joint program\, has been adapting interventio
	ns that ensure the integration of female genital mutilation in humanitaria
	n and post-crisis response.\n\n\n\n	To promote the elimination of female g
	enital mutilation\, coordinated and systematic efforts are needed\, and th
	ey must engage whole communities and focus on human rights\, gender equali
	ty\, sexual education and attention to the needs of women and girls who su
	ffer from its consequences.\n\n
