Who posted female circumcision on the Cosmopolitan website

On March 7, 2024, a photo was posted on the magazine`s Cosmopolitan website cosmopolitan.com in the celebrity section that showed so-called female circumcision. The photo appears to have been taken from a video of one of these procedures in the Middle East. The photo also included a laughing emoji and a thumbs up sign. The text on the photo said female circumcision saves a woman from debauchery and makes her healthy. The photo hung on the site for about an hour, and then a link to it opened another photo. The Cosmoplitan`s publishing house did not comment on this fact. There was also no reaction from the US authorities, where the publishing house is located.
