It is carried out commonly on female between the ages of 0 to 15 years; however, occasionally married and adult womenhas been also subjected to this process according to the local or religious traditions and circumstances. In some nations, circumcision is practiced as early as a few days after birth and late as just prior to marriage or after the first pregnancy. Generally circumcision is carried out by a traditional practitioner who comes from a household in which generations of women have carried out the procedure. FGM is particularly widespread in Africa, where it occurs in about 28 countries and affects an estimated a hundred to a hundred and forty million women.
