The governments repeated their confirmation that female circumcision as constituting violation of the rights of women and girls and considering hat practice a type of harm tat there is no way for correcting it or reversing its results. They have mentioned many medical indications that the circumcision of females forms a threat to the health of women and girls and doubles the possibility of their affection with AIDS and the danger of mortality of mothers and infants as will as harming their psychological, sexual and reproduction health.
