How mant arrests for FGM in London?https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-46106224 …
If WHO could medicalize the practice and have doctors make tons of money off of it they would. The problem is the optics wouldn't be good in the current Western mindset. In reality female circumcision was very common in the 19th century Europe and America.

and then banned for good reason ,its does more harm than good .
-
They only banned it in 1996 in the US.
-
Does not matter if it was banned last week ,its still banned for the same reason ,it does more harm than good
-
Practices like these are banned for political reasons not medical. The public perceived it as "African Savagery" therefore it was banned an act of cultural supremacy.
-
Tell me ,if it was banned for cultural sumpremacy then why would the US and or Europe prevent thier citizens from having Female Circumcision?
-
Because it was already etched in the public mind that this was an inferior "barbaric" African and Muslim practice.
-
Your argument makes no sense . Most of Europe and USA are not African nor Muslim .And considering we claim to be diverse and multicultural I dont see many actual Africans or Muslims demanding the practice and claiming our right to stop it being racist
-
Many African women have campaigned to legalize the practice.
