The WHO's definition of Type II FGM is "partial or total removal of the clitoris and the [[labia minora]], with or without excision of the labia majora. When it is important to distinguish between the major variations that have been documented, the following subdivisions are proposed: Type IIa, removal of the labia minora only; Type IIb, partial or total removal of the clitoris and the labia minora; Type IIc, partial or total removal of the clitoris, the labia minora and the labia majora.<ref name="WHO - Terminology">{{REFdocument
