    "content": "This Bill seeks to prohibit the practice of Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) in all its manifestations. The Bill is divided into three parts. Part One provides for preliminary matters. It is important to understand the background of FGM, which is a deeply rooted traditional practice that is found in a number of countries around the world. More so, this vice is very prevalent in a number of African countries. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), FGM is practiced in 28 out of 52 countries in Sub-Saharan Africa, where national prevalence ranges from 5 per cent in the Democratic Republic of Congo and 98 per cent in Somalia. The FGM is also practiced in a few countries in the Middle East and Asia and by migrant populations in Europe, North America and Australia."
