Female sexual mutilation is practiced in about twenty-eight countries. Many of these countries are Arab or Muslim. Among those practicing female sexual mutilation under religious pretext, we must mention here Sudan, Somalia, Eritrea and Egypt. In Egypt, about 3,600 girls are excised daily.1 Other Arab and Muslim countries do not practice female sexual mutilation, such as several North African Countries, Syria, Iraq, Jordan, Saudi Arabia (with some exceptions) and Iran.
