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.

Yes, it is your problem. You have female relatives. Are you so self centered that you really believe a woman WANTS that done to her? That would be like taking your “boys”.
And tell me one good reason why they are cut? America is the one of the few countries that still practices this.
This needs to be stopped!!
High five Carol!
Furthermore, many men prefer the aesthetics of a circumcised penis. All the men I have known, had no objection and had their own sons circumcised.
It’s done to boys every day…. just sayin.
