Is female circumcision still common? I don't know whether to circumcise my baby girl. I know that it is just a nick (much less invasive than male circumcision) instead of the drastic examples outside of SG.

Hi, It is documented to be done in some communities in 29 countries. But why do you want to circumcise your girl? We are living in 2016 and not in dark middle ages, and such regressive things done in the name of religion and custom is one of the many reasons that woman of this world is a commodity. Circumcision will only lead in health problems in your baby as she grows. If you, yourself were circumcised then you should not think of making your girl go through such a process at all. http://www.who.int/reproductivehealth/topics/fgm/health_consequences_fgm/en/
