YAOUNDE, Feb. 6 (Xinhua) -- Many Cameroonian women still suffer from female genital mutilation (FGM) and it was imperative to intensify campaigns against the scourge, a senior official said on Tuesday.
"Mutilations exist and we must come together to eliminate them because it is an atrocious practice which has no justification and rather causes harmful consequences on the life of the woman," Minister of Women's Empowerment and the Family Marie-Therese Abena Ondoa said during a press briefing in Yaounde, the capital, to mark the International Day of Zero Tolerance for FGM.
