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.

Really..???why..???which is it …??trump??republicans??Russians.???
I agree with what is being said here because I’ve studied it and know it is going on …. HOWEVER!
Please note! All of the entities trying to remove “f**e news” from what we are fed daily are pointing specifically to misspellings and improper English.
My first note and reason to NOT READ …. is “no date on the article”.
Our information is coming so quickly that yesterday’s news is old news and we have a short time to decipher what is real and not real about today.
TRUTH AND ACTION: If you’re serious …. clean it up.
Where is the feminist liberal outcry? Where are the pu**y hats in protest?
What happened to all the feminists????????????
that’s criminal. I don’t care what they say in defense of it. It’s heinous. I see that as a hate crime against the female gender. There’s no need for that kind of thing at all. Useless.
The question is: Do we even have a clue yet?
This needs to be stopped and criminal charges applied!
This is EXACTLY why I won’t go to an east Indian doctor.
Muslims
I don’t see any pink hats protesting about this.
