What is female circumcision?

Answer:
The chick above is right: it's a horrible practice forced onto many young girls and women (usually in 3rd world countries)to make them "clean" for their future husbands.

Their clitoris is cut off, and the vaginal lips are sewn together leaving a small hole for urine and blood to pass. It is custom that the husband will break open the hole when they're married.

Often, the operation is done without pain medicine, without a professional doctor, and with unsafe and unclean utensils like razor blades and shards of glass. The women usually develop infections, increased pain during childbirth, and even death.

Safe houses have been set up around the world for women and girls who choose to flee from this fate of theirs. Often, families and society will reject the women who refuse to be circumcized.
