Female Genital Mutilation is defined as the partial or total removal of a girl or woman's external genitalia for traditional and cultural reasons which are nonmedical in nature.
Although, culture and tradition are fundamental to societies and ethnic groups, some of these unhealthy traditional practices (emanating from culture) must be completely eradicated due to it's damaging effects on the victims' health.
Many of the victims of female genital mutilation may have to live with its associated psychological, physical, emotional and even spiritual trauma for the rest of their lives; and that's an abuse on their fundamental human rights.

Notable points in Social Studies
Social Studies is defined as an integrated study on the interaction of human beings with their physical and social environments.
We can think of our environment as everything that surrounds us at any point in time. For instance, the soil, air, your clothes, phone and everything surrounding you right now are all part of your environment. (That is, they make up your environment).
Physical environment describes every visible thing around us. It could be water, air, soil, clothes, phones or all other things found around us.
Social environment on the other hand describes the various social roles or positions that influence an individual or a group. It is represented in our culture, norms, values, the people and various institutions with whom we interact with. Meanwhile, understand that social media applications like facebook, twitter, instagram, youtube and the likes present a social environment where people can interact with one another regardless their geographical location around the world.
