Description: by Fran P. Hosken. Article discusses how female genital mutilation continues to be practiced in Africa, Indonesia and Malaysia among Moslem populations.
Presented at The First International Symposium on Circumcision, Anaheim, California, March 1-2, 1989. Female genital mutilation - the descriptive term for the different types of operations are "excision" and "infibulation" - continues to be practiced in large regions of Africa, from the Red Sea Coast to the shores of the Atlantic. According to a conservative estimate, at least 84 [110] million women and girls are mutilated today in Continental Africa and similar operations are practiced along the Persian Gulf and the southern part of the Arab Peninsula. In Indonesia and Malaysia, less drastic forms of "female circumcision" are practiced by some of the Moslem populations of this region and sporadic occurrences have been registered among other mainly Moslem groups.
