The head of the United Nations Population Fund, Babatunde Osotimehin, has described female genital mutilation as child abuse. It's the first time that someone from the UN has used that description - normally referring to the practice as a human rights violation. In an interview with the Â鶹Éç, Mr Osotimehin said the custom should stop. (Photo - Babatunde Osotimehin. Credit; Anthony Harvey/Getty Images for UNPopulation Fund)
