Fighting female genital mutilation among America's daughters

Despite public health campaigns and widespread criticism, female genital mutilation continues in the West, a practice from African and Middle Eastern cultures imported via immigrant communities. Traditionally believed to control female sexuality and make girls "marriageable", FGM can have devastating health effects and maim women for life.
