Reply #77: Clitoridectomy is defined under type 1 by the WHO-

[Mother Of Four]

If you go and read the PDF file for the definitions of female mutilation, on page 24 they have a list of what is considered mutilation.

Removal of the prepuce, or hood alone- is very similar to circumcision and it is defined under WHO as a form of mutilation as clitoridectomy.

"Type I: Partial or total removal of the clitoris and/or
the prepuce (clitoridectomy).

When it is important to distinguish between the
major variations of Type I mutilation, the following
subdivisions are proposed: Type Ia, removal of the
clitoral hood or prepuce only; Type Ib, removal of the
clitoris with the prepuce."
