Female genital mutilation advertised on social media for as little as $10 in Indonesia

So, first, clitoral hood removal is probably the least invasive type of FGM. It's also less common than the more extreme types.

And yes, it's equivalent to MGM. Congrats, the "nicest", minority version of FGM is the same as MGM.

The MOST common FGM is clitordectomy - complete removal.

Does that still "sound pretty similar" to you?

Types I and II account for 85% of FGM.

  • Type I includes the partial or total removal of the clitoris and/or prepuce. Known as clitoridectomy, this is the most common form believed to be practiced in Iraqi Kurdistan.
  • Type II is a more invasive procedure that includes the partial or total removal of the clitoris and the labia minora. This can be performed with or without excision of the labia majora and is known as excision.
