Re: Female genital cutting or female circumcision
It is a sick, shocking cultural practice that many people do and believe that it is what their religion asks!
Over 100 million women have had it done worldwide, 2 million get it done every year and it kills thousands of women every year as a result of septicemia, shock, haemorraging etc. Girls as young as 3 years old get it done! Anaesthesia is rarely used! Makes me cringe at that thought! If only there was some way to ban it!
Some say this ensures that a wife-to-be is faithful to her future husband. Some ppl' consider girls ineligible for marriage if they have not been circumcised. It is an oppression of women!
DO - what are your views on it? :)
