The fight against female genital mutilation (FMG) in Tanzania is so hard despite government efforts to eliminate the practice, some people continue to do it in secret mainly in Mara, Dodoma, Kilimanjaro, Singida and Manyara regions where adult women and children undergo the harmful ritual. The purpose of this practice is to slow down sexual desires. The practice is highly dangerous to health. FMG is performed with crude homemade knives, pairs of scissors, pieces of glass or razor blades.
