- Description
- 'In this paper reviews of the current knowledge on cultural change after migration in the practice of female circumcision, also named genital cutting or mutilation. The challenge for the future is how to incorporate culturally sensitive efforts of prevention on the one hand, and the examination of suspicious cases of illegal circumcision on the other.'
