| | Female circumcision - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The official term female circumcision is also in common usage, though advocates of male circumcision argue that this results in unwanted associations between the two practices, while genital integrity advocates might refer to all child genital cutting as mutilation. | | | Female genital cutting (FGC) refers to a number of procedures performed for cultural, rather than medical, reasons on the female genitalia. | | | The form of female circumcision regarded as the most severe is Type III, which is also referred to as infibulation or pharaonic circumcision. |

| | Opponents of female genital cutting, however, emphasize that the practice is detrimental to women's health and well-being. | | | Female circumcision is currently practiced in at least 28 countries stretching across the center of Africa north of the equator; it is not found in southern Africa or in the Arabic-speaking nations of North Africa, with the exception of Egypt. | | | Female circumcision, the partial or total cutting away of the external female genitalia, has been practiced for centuries in parts of Africa, generally as one element of a rite of passage preparing young girls for womanhood and marriage. |

| | This permits a female who has reached the dangerous age of puberty and adolescence to protect her virginity, and therefore her honor, with greater ease. | | | Similarly female circumcision is meant to preserve the chastity of young girls by reducing their desire for sexual intercourse. | | | A US federal bill, "Federal Prohibition of Female Genital Mutilation of 1995" was passed in 1996-SEP. Section 273.3 of the Canadian Criminal Code protects children who are ordinarily resident in Canada, (as citizens or landed migrants) from being removed from the country and subjected to FGM. |

| | Female Genital Cutting |
| | Practices involving the cutting of female genitals have been found throughout history in many cultures, but there is no definitive evidence documenting when or why this ritual began. | | | Because significant numbers of females continue to emigrate from countries where FGC is practiced, the population of females in the United States who have undergone FGC or who are at risk for FGC is increasing. | | | Recently, other terms such as "female genital cutting" (FGC) have increasingly been used. |

| | Female circumcision became symbolic of holding on to their own traditions, and not adapting to a new culture that tried to impose its own social norms onto another culture through colonialism. | | | Social, religious, and traditional reasons for female circumcision have been questioned as the health risks of infibulation and excision are more widely understood. | | | Where it is practiced, female circumcision is strongly promoted and closely safeguarded; it is regarded as an essential coming-of-age ritual that symbolizes virginity, cleanliness, fertility, and enhances the beauty of a woman's body. |
