Types of harmful traditional incision

Harmful traditional incisions refer to practices that involve cutting or altering the body for cultural or ritualistic reasons, often without medical justification. Common types include female genital mutilation (FGM), which can lead to severe health complications, and traditional scarification, where patterns are etched into the skin. These practices can result in physical and psychological trauma, infections, and long-term health issues. Efforts to combat these practices focus on education, community engagement, and promoting human rights.
