N2  - Rapid immigration from countries that practice female genital mutilation/cutting (FGM/C) has introduced new populations requiring culturally sensitive health care. Clinicians play an important role in providing documentation and expert testimony for women seeking asylum on the basis on FGM/C. The intent of this paper is to provide instruction to providers aiming to evaluate an individual seeking asylum based on FGM/C. This document provides guidance about the three primary parts of evaluation: the interview, exam, and report. Other goals of investigation include preventing and ending suffering, compensation, and psychological or physical rehabilitation.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
