- The World Health Organization defines female genital mutilation (FGM) as the partial or total removal of the female external genitalia for nonmedical reasons, which they detail has no health benefits.
- In fact, FGM results in lasting physical injury and can even result in the death of the girls and women who undergo the procedure.
- While FGM is most common in Africa, the Middle East and Asia—where a jaw dropping 200 million girls and women have undergone the procedure—young women around the globe are at risk.
- According to 2012 data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, an estimated 513,000 women and girls in the U.S. have experienced or are at risk of mutilation.

The CEOs no doubt want to get out in front of this by showing what splendid corporate citizens they are."

The major fault is that Ocasio-Cortez seems to not understand that, while there are miscarriages of justice, the reason people are put in prisons is that they have done something wrong. Abolishing prisons would release lawbreakers, many of whom are violent, who have not paid their debt to society back into society. In AOC’s view, these are not people who have done something wrong but rather are oppressed people.
