<![CDATA[ABSTRACT: In todayâs world, the existence of female circumcision is still in debate. It is called voluntary female circumcision or it is also known as Female Genital Mutilation(FGM). Here, female circumcision is often associated with religious teachings and traditions of society that must always be maintained. For some fÂeminists, fÂemale circumcision is considered as the practice of violence that should be eliminated from society. Community culture and religious traditions that have been more nuanced patriarchal, became the legitimacy of the continuity of this practice. This paper describes some trends of circumcision, implementation of women, the religious dimension, tradition and critical review of this practice.
