FGM is often practiced withoutconsent.In societies where female genital mutilation is a standard practice, it is rare to establish consent from the women who will undergo the procedure. Especially if the procedure occurs during infancy or early childhood, the decision of whether to have the procedu...

Although AtTPR7 is unrelated to YfgM, both proteins contain tetratrico-peptide repeat (TPR) domains (for review, see Ref. 55), which are often involved in protein-protein interactions. Another possible role for YfgM may be in the acid stress response, as E. coli cells are more susceptible...
The body is a place where men reinforce their strength (note: also through male circumcision) by weakening the female body with ‘harmful traditional practices’ [73]. The harm is the expression of violence, which is carried out directly on the body, sexuality and, finally, on health; this...
The dispersion curves of viscoelastic materials are often quite different from those of purely elastic counterparts. When viscoelasticity is considered, the energy of wave motion is dissipative, resulting in the appearance of complex values for all wavenumbers. Actually the introduction of curvature, ...
Female Genital Mutilation/Cutting (FGM/C) is a harmful practice that violates the human rights of women and girls. Despite global efforts to restrict the practice, there have been few reports on major positive changes to the problem. Health education int
the undersized penis/oversized clitoris is reduced and a vaginal opening constructed or expanded (often over several surgeries) to accommodate a penis of normal length ([28]:61, 30). Heterosexual dimorphism is thus created as it is affirmed. Likewise, websites advertising labiaplasty tacitly assume...
A pre-vibration static analysis is carried out to include the effect of initial thermal stresses due to a temperature change. The proposed formulations are capable of dealing with beams with arbitrary end supports and Acknowledgements The work described in this paper was funded by a grant from ...
It is assumed by some that FGM/C is easily detected on genital inspection but often this is not true. While Type III FGM/C is easily noted, other types of FGM/C are more difficult to diagnose with confidence. This is particularly true for Type IV FGM/C which may comprise only a prick...
