ABSTRACT = {Female circumcision — a procedure where the parts of the 
female genitals are removed, which is also known as female 
genital cutting (FGC) or female genital mutilation (FGM) 
— continues to be practiced in more than 28 African 
countries. It is estimated that 80-100 million women have 
been circumcised. We performed a review of the literature 
to examine the history of female circumcision, its medical 
and psychological consequences, and government and 
non-government educational initiatives that are currently 
being taken to eradicate this practice.},
