Female Gential Mutalation Female Genital Mutilation Almost no one who has heard of the practice of Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) is without some form of opinion of the custom, which affects 100 million women in 26 African countries, and elsewhere in the developing world. It has been declared a gross violation of the human rights of woman and female children. However at he same time some argue that the procedures are part of time-honored cultural rituals which mark the individuals as a full member of there society, and that no outsider has the right to impose his or her own values on a another culture. FGM has often been referred to as female circumcision and compared to male circumcision. FGM is far more drastic and damaging than male circumcision is, and the only way to compare the two would be for the male penis to be removed. woman, female, circumcision, male, fgm, without, society, rights, part, one, mutilation, however, honor, genital, family, been, african, world, women, weak, way, voracious, virtually, violation, values, unnecessary, unmarried, unbridled, unable, two, time-honored, time, thereby, status, sons
