Article 38 of the Istanbul Convention deals with FGM. This film series for information and education of healthcare professionals contributes to the implementation of this area of the Istanbul Convention. According to the definition by the World Health Organisation (WHO), female genital mutilation (FGM) comprises all procedures that involve partial or total removal of the external female genitalia, or other injury to the female genital organs for non-medical reasons. FGM can lead to immediate health risks, as well as long-term complications to women’s physical, mental and sexual health. The practice is recognized internationally as a violation of human rights of girls and women and as an extreme form of gender discrimination. It has been banned through numerous international conventions. Still, over four million girls worldwide are subjected to this severe violence every year.
