This entry is incorrect. This word does not refer to circumcision, it refers to female genital mutilation.
------------------------------

Editor: "circumcision" encompasses both male circumcision and female genital mutilation.

circumcision
1a : the act of circumcising
especially : the cutting off of the foreskin of males [...]
1b : female genital mutilation [...]
Ref:
https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/circumcision

And the same can be said of 割礼: the word encompasses both male circumcision and female genital mutilation.

割礼有男性割礼与女性割礼之分。

See also the Wikipedia article on 割礼, which covers both male and female circumcision:
https://zh.wikipedia.org/zh-cn/%E5%89%B2%E7%A6%AE

Wikipedia's article on female genital mutilation is not the one titled 割礼, but rather another one titled
残割女性生殖器 (mainland version)
女陰殘割 (Taiwan version)
