Female genital mutilation (FGM) also called female genital cutting (FGC) or female circumcision is a public health problem the world over. According to the World Health Organization, ‘it comprises all procedures that involve partial or total removal of the external female genitalia, or other injury to the female genital organs for non-medical reasons’. It has not been shown to have any known health benefits. Rather, it has serious medical, social and psychosexual complications [1]. Although it is prevalent in Nigeria and other African countries, Middle East and Asia where about 200 millions girls and women are said to have been mutilated for cultural, psychosexual, sociological and religious reasons [2], the practice has found its way into the western world due to migration. Hence it is a global concern.
