A study released by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention finds a four-fold increase in the risk of genital mutilation in girls under the age of 18, and a three-fold increase in girls and other women in the U.S, due to the wave of migrants from countries where the ritual is still practiced.
The increase has been happening over the course of a few decades as wave after wave of migrants have reached the US. The current rate means that half a million girls and women are affected or directly at risk of being subjected to the practice.
The practice has been bands in the United States for 20 years, but families who still practice genital mutilation are exploiting loopholes. The study observed a phenomenon called “vacation cutting,” where girls are sent back to the family’s country of origin to undergo the gruesome ritual.

THANK YOU WASHINGTON DC! To think we pay them for this BS!!!
Finally the CDC has acknowledged there’s a problem with attacks against Female Reproductive Organs in the U.S.
After researching the Top 10 Pharmaceutical Corporations in U.S. we found them to be internationally based and marketing Approved U.S. FDA Questionable, Misleading products and services!
Who are the scientists, Doctors, Chemical & Pharmaceutical Corporations misleading the American people?
Why is the U.S. the only country that pays Higher prices for drugs and products? The Pharmaceutical, Chemical, Doctors, Insurance Corporations are all working together in this “Medical Pyramid Scheme” using a woman’s organs she needs to survive as a human being!
As a advocate, writer, researcher and a survivor of U.S. reproductive health Drug Industry I found the U.S. had no idea about International development of Drugs, Products, chemicals, foreign business owners and there Board Members and Executives residing in their Home Country, Although making Healthcare decisions, products and procedures for the United States? There is no International Transparency with Import/Export, Products, Development, and Funding Sources.
How do the American people know if another country who has different Laws, History, Safety, Cultures, Food? Do they
have American families health in mind or is about their North American and/or Global profit?
Not will be, THERE IS!!!!!
imagine that.
🙁
UNEXCEPTABLE IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA…
Male circumcision is absolutely GENITAL MUTILATION and it’s done for the exact same perverted reasons as female circumcision. The aim is to physically damage the genitals and diminish the victim’s sexuality.
Male circumcision absolutely affects penile sensitivity and sexual pleasure and penile health – and not for the better.
I’m so sick of the ignorant people who defend MGM but are outraged at FGM. Um, hello? They are both the same damn thing: mutilation.
It doesn’t matter which one is worse, they are both mutilation. And the most common form of female genital cutting, which is practiced in several Muslim nations and involves a removal of a sliver of$#%&!@* is actually less invasive and less damaging than male circumcision.
It’s 2016. Why are people still defending this disgusting practice?
I agree. Some grown men do it.
It’s wrong. Men also get breat cancer, why are we treating me nlike dirt?
wonder how many liberal women wd like female circum cision
