It is concluded that the total eradication of FGM remains an uphill task and as such, it will entail more efforts on the part of the government and the people, as well as co-operation with international bodies, associations, Non- Governmental Organizations, etc, to change the cultural and religious mythological belief behind the continued practice of FGM practice.	cache/acarelar-1704.pdf	txt/acarelar-1704.txt
