Gender and Adolescence: Global Evidence (GAGE), Amman, Jordan.
This paper discusses how harmful practices such as child marriage and female genital mutilation/cutting (FGM/C) can be effectively explored through feminist methodologies that center the lived experiences of girls and young women affected by these issues. Eliminating harmful practices, which are rooted in gender inequality and have myriad life-course consequences for those who experience them, has become a global priority in recent years. However, dominant conceptualizations of the drivers and consequences of child marriage and FGM/C often fail to adequately engage with or reflect adolescent girls' own nuanced experiences and perceptions.

An increasing number of women are undergoing female genital cosmetic surgery (FGCS). Labiaplasty, the most commonly performed FGCS, consists of a surgical procedure to decrease the inner labia size so that no or less tissue protrudes beyond the outer labia.

Introduction And Importance: Female circumcision, also known as female genital mutilation/cutting (FGM/C), is a common practice in many Arab countries, including Egypt. One potential complication of FGM/C is the development of a clitoral epidermal inclusion cyst, which occurs when keratinized epithelial cells and sebaceous glands become incorporated into the circumcision scar line in the clitoral or labial area. The objective of this study is to present a rare case of a large clitoral epidermal inclusion cyst following FGM/C and to review the current practice of FGM/C in the Arab world, including Egypt, Sudan, and Saudi Arabia.
