Talk about it! Empowerment and Female Genital Mutilation_Cutting

4 Anatomical Knowledge Our work with women often includes anatomical knowledge. Maybe you already know a lot about your body but at the same time some topics are not yet crystal clear, or you have heard myths and stories you are not sure about their truthfulness. Female Reproductive Organs Let‘s start with the female reproductive organs. These consist, for women born with female reproductive organs, of the outer, visible part such as vulva, labia (lips of the vulva), vaginal opening (vagina) and hymen (not every woman has a hymen!), urethral opening and clitoris. This brochure deals with Female Genital Mutilation_Cutting (FGM_C), sexuality and sexualised violence. If you are affected by FGM_C or unsure about it, it is up to you when to read this brochure. Listen to your inner voice! It is okay to skip pages or look at pictures later. Even though women are the main subject of this brochure, we explicitly want everybody, including people identifying as non-binary or not as women, who underwent FGM_C to feel addressed.
