  A group of United Nations agencies has issued a joint statement calling for a ban on tests meant to assess the virginity of any female.

The UN agencies are: the UN Human Rights Office, UN Women and the World Health Organisation. The group said, “so-called virginity testing also often referred to as hymen, two-fingers or per vaginal examination is a gynaecological inspection of female genitalia carried out in the false belief that it can reliably determine whether a woman or girl has had vaginal intercourse'.
