A family court in Australia has pulled the passport of a man and his daughter to prevent him from taking her to Africa for a “cutting”. The Australian man is of African decent and it is quite common for females to get “cut” or have their genitals mutilated when they become of age. The Female Circumcision is common practice in Africa but it is highly opposed by the World Health Organization and it has been against the law to do any such act in Australia since the early 1990s. The man failed to appear in court to hand in his passport so there is no word if the court order will actually prevent anything.
