The women entered their guilty pleas when they appeared in Armadale Magistrates Court this morning and will be sentenced in the District Court in Perth in August.Did you know we offer a local version of the ABC News homepage? Watch below to see how you can set yours, and get more WA stories.When the women were charged in March, WA Police said "practices which may be acceptable by some cultures and in some countries may constitute criminal offences in Western Australia".
Procedures that remove part or all of the external female genitalia or cause injury to female genital organs for non-medical reasons are illegal across Australia.Clinical practice guidelines from WA's Women and Newborn Health Service explain that the procedure is usually carried out between the ages of 4 and 10 years old, but may be conducted "just before marriage, during pregnancy or post-birth".
"The motivation for communities to practice [female genital mutilation] varies wildly but includes psychosexual and sociological reasons, hygiene and aesthetic reasons and myths," it reads.was recorded in November 2015.
i dream of a day when MGM gets the same reaction.
How many people plan the genital mutilation of boys? Double standard
I can't trust because they conceal the truth
The forced genital cutting of a healthy person is unnecessary, harmful and unethical Watch American Circumcision
And the mutilation of boys? No one even cares. What a gross double standard
What? Unbelievable. 😢
I wonder if they are Muslim’s ?
'Women admit planning female genital mutilation of two-week-old baby girl in Perth' Diversity is our strength? 'Yeah, but what about what the Christians do?' - well not that. auspol
Lock em up for life
Mum was done so must the baby. This would be the main reason.

Is male cursumsision male mutilation to.
Lock them up
That's odd. Where are the shrill outraged howls from the leftard feminazis. Do they not care because it's a crime not committed by a Christian white man?
Gaol 15 years minimum
Heres your mass Immigration migration, population, property ponzi Australians. Vote last the Lib, Lab and Nats
Send her back! Put the baby with a white family ASAP.
Religion of peace…with strange customs.
Where is the baby? Safe hopefully 🤬
Are we appalled because this happened to a girl or because it happened to a child? Because for some children it’s legal and others it’s not.
The song 'cornflake girl' by Tori Amos, released about 30 yrs ago, is about FGM.
These people need a labotomy
What is wrong with these people?
Now this should be a question on the form when one wants to become an Australian citizen. “Do you believe in genitalia mutilation on children?” Yes? Off you go then!!
A question I have is why is ear piercing not given a similar treatment? Any non-medical mutilation of a child is abuse. davidpeterweber abcperth
The 21st Century and still we have medieval practices.
200 million girls suffer this across 31 counties. Our neighbour Indonesia being at the top of the list 👎
Disgusting
Barbaric act. Now do male circumcision.
Cut off their hands.
Hey, the jews do it to baby boys. But who cares, right?
😳Y R we trying to assimilate African migrants/refugees into a 1st world country half a world away? SAFELY relocate these poor people as close to their home as possible. Polar opposite cultures/life experiences simply do not mix & is no good for either side. 💯% Non Racist BTW!
Maybe the answer lies in not offering migrants with abhorrent practices into the country in the first place
Send her back to Africa NOW！
GO TO JAIL.
You see.... We are in Australia... we do not do that practice here in Australia... but you already knew that!!
I was planning to move to Perth soon, now its not an option.
😡
Wow child abuse by a women, this will be all we ever hear of this coz female domestic violence and child abuse does not fit with the women always being the victims of domestic violence
Who let these barbarians into Australia? Deport the women. The child can stay
You let these animals in ! What did you expect from the mentally sub-normal ?
Sick
Unreal. Life in jail
deviate
At least you accept that women have female genitals. It’s a start...
Drag them out of the dark ages
did they lose custody?
Makes my blood boil, this is 2021, we live in Australia but still some insist that this revolting unnecessary mutilation of a female is a good thing. It's barbaric.
This sort of child mutilation makes me so fricking angry. Stop cutting bits off children. Your bs reasons are not supported by science. That includes male mutilations via circumcision. Leave kids alone. Nature got it right the first time.
That's disgusting!
Millions of Australian male babies were mutilated by Jewish idiology. Where is the class action? Circumcision is a ritual that severs the male infant from female elements, and vis vis for infant females. Nothing to do with so called hygiene.
Disgusting. No place for that in Australia
Barbarack is the least to say. Immigrants or whomever come to reside in Australia should have this Highlighted in the Acceptance of Residency. If the don't sign, agree No Entry. We cannot import this Behavior.
WTF that's shocking and sickening
Yet another reason we need to re-educate or remove these people. False religions damage the whole of society.
What about male multilation circumcision men_are_human nickbarnesaus ozcrimenews?
All cultures are equal
Beware religious freedom.
Criminalise all genital mutilation full stop. Female or male, unless medical intervention is absolutely necessary no child should have any normal, functional body part removed without their consent.
Diversity is an interesting and fraught topic but clearly some cultural practices are objectively bad. We just want to cherry pick the good bits, food, festivals, music etc.
There will not be a case to answer because it is a cultural issue their lawyer will say. When in Australia follow our customs or get out!
Criminals.
Lock Them Up, Now !!!! 😡😡😡
they must have been brainwashed by some kind of insane religious cult..
Isn’t multicultural Australia great
I don't care if it is a cultural issue for them They live in Australia and it is acriminal offence. If they are barbaric enough to inflict this procedure go back to the country and culture where this is practice. Barbarians
Remove the child for her own safety. These religious nutters won't stop till they have done irreparable damage
