"Globally, at least 2 million girls a year are at risk of genital mutilation ---- approximately 6,000 per day. An estimated 85 to 114 million girls and women in the world are genitally mutilated. Most live in Africa, a few in Asia, and increasingly, there are more women in Europe, Canada, and the United States who have suffered female genital mutilation (FGM). These women and girls experience pain, trauma, and frequently, severe physical complications, such as bleeding, infections, or even death. Long-term physical complications are numerous, and there appear to be substantial psychological effects on women's self-image and sexual lives. For those with the severest form of FGM, infibulation, the trauma of mutilation is repeated with each childbirth." -------- from the Introduction. Size: 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall.
