Why are little girls clits removed?

The practice of removing or altering the clitoris, often referred to as female genital mutilation (FGM), is a harmful cultural tradition in some societies. It is typically performed for reasons related to social norms, beliefs about purity, and control over women's sexuality. FGM can have severe physical and psychological consequences for girls and women, and it is widely recognized as a violation of human rights. Efforts are ongoing globally to eliminate this practice and educate communities about its risks and harms.
