Female Genital Mutilation can be divided into four types.
Type one includes the partial or total removal of the clitoris and/or the area surrounding the clitoris.
Type two includes the partial or total removal of the clitoris and the removal of the labia.
Type three includes the narrowing of the vaginal orifice by creating a seal through the cutting and apposition of the labia. This may be done with or without the removal of all or part of the clitoris.
Type four includes all other harmful procedures done to the female genitalia for non-medical reasons such as incision, burning, branding and scraping.
