The term “infibulation” has its etymological root in “fibula,” which means pin or clasp in Latin. It is a form of female genital mutilation that involves the excision of parts of the vulva. Three types of infibulation are classified based on the extent of organ demolition. In the first type, only the clitoris is excised; in the second type, the clitoris and small labia; and in the third type, the clitoris, small labia, and large labia. Following the demolition and mutilation, the vulva is stitched, leaving only a small opening for the passage of urine and menstrual blood. If the large labia are also removed, they are cauterized with a hot iron. The procedure is usually performed by an elder, imam, or local notable. This practice is still prevalent in certain regions of Africa, the Arabian Peninsula, and some parts of Asia. Its origin is believed to be rooted in ancient Egypt, hence the name “pharaonic infibulation” given to type 3 infibulation. WHO data indicates that in Egypt, even today, more than 80% of women have undergone some form of infibulation, and even more in Somalia. It is crucial to emphasize that this is a cultural tradition and not a religious one because infibulation is not mentioned in the Quran. Nevertheless, it is evident that this practice is found in predominantly Islamized countries. Infibulation is rarely practiced by Christians, with the exception of some Coptic groups in the Horn of Africa, Eritrea, and Ethiopia.
