摘要：
Female Genital Mutilation is a procedure involving partial or total removal of the external female genitalia for cultural or non-therapeutic reasons. The female genital mutilation is a practice associated with a variety of socio-cultural meanings and often considered as necessary for social acceptability. Despite global concerns, awareness and campaigns, the prevalence of female genital mutilation remains high in many countries. In spite of the prohibition practice, ending female genital mutilation is still a problem as the practice is conducted secretly and quietly.
