I think it's usually women who carry out this barbaric custom, the girls being held down and forcibly mutilated. It's going to take a lot of re-education to change a custom so ingrained in certain cultures. That it still goes on in Britain and other western countries in this day and age is a disgrace, people are so sensitive about sticking their nose in and upsetting people's feelings or even being accused of being a racist that the issue seems to be swept under the carpet. The girls end up as silent victims with terrible suffering.
