Estimated 200 Million girls/women have undergone FGM

Almost 70m more women than previously thought are estimated to have undergone FGM

At least 200 million girls and women in 30 countries are estimated to have undergone female circumcision â€" half of them in Egypt, Ethiopia and Indonesia, the U.N. children's agency said in a report released on Thursday night.

The UNICEF statistical report said the global figure includes nearly 70 million more girls and women than it estimated in 2014. It said this is due to population growth in some countries and new data from Indonesia.

The U.N. General Assembly unanimously approved a resolution in December 2012 calling for a global ban on female genital mutilation, a centuries-old practice stemming from the belief that circumcising girls controls women's sexuality and enhances fertility. One of the targets in the new U.N. goals adopted last September calls for the practice to be eliminated by 2030.

Good luck with that.

It doesn't involve oil. So no one cares.

Medically it is a mixed bag ... if you have circumcision on males.  They really need to work top down rather than bottoms up ;-)

No excuse, other than "african" tradition ... to do FGM.  You are micro-aggressing on Brown people pr126 ... the college students will be very cross with you ;-)

I wish you would find one, just one thing pr126 ... that Europeans/Americans do that is inexcusable.  And then post endless hate posts (some factual, but biased) against how the Europeans/Americans need to be eliminated, so your old age isn't ... disturbed by bad dreams.
