Women carry out female circumscision, in many cases the practice is voluntary, and in some forms it isn't genital mutilation, but rather less painful and potentially harmful than a clit piercing i.e., just slicing of the clitoral hood.

I will just say that female circumscision is usually done by women to women, and when mothers try to break the cycle, daughters are kidnapped by aunts and female cousins and taken to grandmothers who perform the ritual.
