Redirecting "Female Circumcision" and "Khafd" page issues

1. The page "Female Circumcision" page redirects to the FGM page, and the "Khafd" page redirects to Religious views on female genital mutilation. The problem with this redirecting is that it equates Female Circumcision = FGM. This is incorrect. Female Circumcision is a name given to a procedure/practice, and FGM is an umbrella term by the WHO, given for many (about 6) different procedure/practice from which female circumcision is one of them. Just like piercing is also a practice that comes under the FGM umbrella term. Therefore, Female Circumsiion ⊆ FGM (FC is a subset of FGM), not Female Circumcision = FGM.

2. This is further established by the WHO themselves who refer to Type 1a as female "circumcision" on page 2 of . Reference: http://www.who.int/reproductivehealth/topics/fgm/management-health-complications-fgm/en/ WHO guidelines on the management of health complications from female genital mutilation 3. Therefore, in order to be clear, I propose having a short description of "female circumcision", describing Type 1a clitoral hood procedure as per the WHO document. And then mention that the WHO considers this FGM. Below this, have a "see more" tab below it then linking it to the FGM page.

If you're looking for more sources, look no further that the Britanica Dictionary. It calls the Islamic practice of Khafd "FEMALE CIRCUMCISION" https://www.britannica.com/topic/khafd https://www.britannica.com/topic/khitan-Islam Hence, what I propose is not to do a blanket re-directing. First clarify the term "Female Circumcision" and "Khafd" according to the WHO guidelines and dictionary. They say that the WHO considers it amoungst one of the practices of FGM, and then have a "See more" tag to the FGM page.Muffizainu (talk) 00:26, 6 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
