About this title

Synopsis

Female genital mutilation/ cutting is a harmful cultural tradition practiced primarily in Sub-Sahara Africa and in some Asian and Middle Eastern countries. Increasing international migration has spread the practice across borders and also brought it to Europe. The book provides a thorough review of the underlying reasons for its continuation. Sustainable intervention measures to eliminate the traditional rite on a global as well as on the European level are discussed.
