What is female circumcision? Why is it done? Is it an Islamic practice? Is it cruel? Can anything be done about it?
People outside of the cultures that practice female circumcision hear about it in the news, but may not have an informed view about what is really all about. It’s more than just mutilating young girls. It is cultural and deeply ingrained in many societies, including some Catholic and Protestant communities.
This website is meant to answer these questions and others. I hope it will dispel myths about female circumcision, and provide facts. It is meant to be unbiased and to simply inform the reader. I hope that this website can serve to educate those who are interested in learning about female circumcision from a different point of view.
