Female Genital Mutilation has been banned in the uS since 1995. It is a rare practice in this country but is in practice in a number of sub saharan countries. It is practiced on girls sometimes with sewing together of the labia and at other times only cutting off oftheclitorisorlabia
This information was taken from Amnesty International USA as well as "Between The Lines". We want to emphasize that women who go through the cutting are still able to have sexual relations and also to carry into childbirth.It must be made unacceptable and a remnant of older parts of the people.
