" It happens across cultures, religions, race, class, education and rural/urban divides. It even happens to white Christian women in the US. If it’s tied to any culture, it’s tied to global patriarchy. Its goal is to control sexuality and it has no medical benefit whatsoever. It can have long-term emotional, physical and sexual consequences. It is a human rights violation, a form of gender-based violence not unrelated to other forms of gender-based violence such as rape culture or sexual harassment, which all oppress women, girls and non-binary people."
