Failed Circumcision of 3 Sisters in Assiut Urges Rescue Efforts
The National Council for Childhood and Motherhood was able to thwart an attempt to circumcise three sister girls aged between 13 and 16 years in Derbott Center, Assiut Governorate. The Child Helpline received an urgent report before the procedure was carried out, leading to the family and the involved nurse being summoned, with assurance that female circumcision would not be repeated. Legal measures included having the parents sign a pledge not to commit the crime, raising community awareness about its dangers, and strengthening penalties under Law No. 10 of 2021, which increased punishments for perpetrators of this practice, especially doctors and nurses. The relevant authorities emphasized ongoing monitoring to protect the girls from any future attempts and called for prompt reporting of female circumcision cases through the Child Helpline at 16000 or via WhatsApp at 01102121600.
