Section two provides the effective date. JUSTIFICATION: Female genital mutilation (FGM) refers to a harmful traditional practice primarily on girls under the age of 18 and that consists of procedures performed on the female genitalia without a medical purpose. FGM ranges from clitoridectomy, the removal of part or all of the clitoris, to infibulation, in which all of the outer genitalia are removed and the vagina is sealed, often with stitches, except for a small opening.
