Female circumcision is not specifically outlawed in Adem's native Ethiopia (nor, at the time, in the state of Georgia). While formally discouraged by the Ethiopian government it remains a very common procedure, with some reports estimating that as much as 90% of Ethiopian women have undergone clitoridectomy.
