Female Genital Mutilation still being carried out - Research

Research findings collated by, Belin Wusa Development Agency,
BEWDA and Action Aid Ghana both NGOs suggest that Female Genital
Mutilation, FGM, known as female circumcision is  still being carried out in some communities in the Upper East Region, particularly, the Bawku Municipality and its environs. 

Though concerted efforts have
been made over the years to address the challenge, the act is still practiced in  Bawku, Mognori, Pusiga and Mandango, despite the ban .

The Programmes Manager of BEWDA, Shaibu Abubakar who disclosed this to Radio Ghana said in the quest to end the injurious practice, it is incumbent on all concerned to join in the fight against the menace.
