FGM BUT WHY THOUGH

[KinsiHilaac]

Fgm Is a common thing that’s been done to Somali girls for so many years. Nearly all people who perform these are women. And they seem to have no issue cutting through meat and seeing blood and little girls crying. Not to mention the next week where these girls have stinging and burning pain anytime they try to urinate. This is… s it only me that thinks this is psyopathic?

Like all backwards acts its due to culture i.e. my ayeeyo did it to my mother and my mother did it to me so I'll do it to you not because I'm for or against it only because we've always done it this way so you'll have to bear with it.

Some of the older women who support FGM also believe that it is a necessary because it will reduce their daughters sexual desire and control and believe it will prevent them from engaging in premarital or extramarital sexual activity.

The statistics mostly exaggerate since our country’s media can’t really defend themselves since we’ve kinda been in a state of collapse. But we’re getting better. I’d advocate for Somalia to pay off the media internationally to put us in a good light.

Crazy how far people will go over misogyny. I don't think there's anything more barbaric in the world than FGM imo only honor killings come remotely close.

Is is psychopathic it’s sad how most Somali girls and women are taught they don’t matter. When really they are the backbone they nurture and provide. And when we have no one else they are there. I hope FGM gets outlaw Ameen.

Exactly! Not only violating someone human rights but their own pleasure.

I hopefully in the near future somalis will get a leader with an iron fist who will ban this cruel act against young women, like Mao did in China with the feet binding practice.

The last women in China with bound feet: 'They thought it would give them a better life'

The photographer Jo Farrell spent nine years tracking down the last women whose feet were broken and bound. Many could no longer walk, and had to keep their disfigurement hidden away

Its gross, i can not believe people are still allowed to put young somali girls through this

The government needs to outlaw this practice, and sheikhs need to talk against it
