    A better understanding of FGC is needed greatly in places like the European Union and the United States where some refugees and immigrants from Africa have brought the traditions of FGC with them.

Some women who refuse to be cut have been able to successfully seek asylum or have avoided deportation by maintaining that they have fled their home countries in order to avoid the operation.

    ‘“Night to His Day’: The Social Construction of Gender,” Judith Lorber’s article written in the mid 90s, describes western societies as having two genders: men and women. Lorber explains that, while they not wholly separate genders, transvestities and transexuals are “crossover genders” (2007: 43) floating in between society’s two genders. Society’s framework for gender affects everything a person does from the moment that person is born, without them even knowing it. The clothes a person wears, the friends a person makes, the job that person ultimately does or does not get: all affected by gender.…

Some may see sex as more difficult to define – it is not as easy as black and white – and may be seen as something continuous instead, rather than only male and female.…
