Abstract

Female genital mutilation can be defined as any procedure that incorporates halfway or absolute expulsion of the female genital organs without a clinical purpose behind that. The low prevalence rate (below 0.10%) of female mutilation was observed at young ages (children), 2-92% prevalence in women matured 15 to 49 years, and 3-61% in young women matured 15 to 17 years. The explanations are liberal aids such as many advocates and experts in female genital mutilation recognize that. Not only does this procedure identify them from different ethnicities, but it also sets gender limits. Human Rights Organization (UNICEF) argues that the mutilation that women voluntarily agree to or seek of their own is "a societal practice that they force of themselves.
