This paper is a mind opener, I didn’t know how much, also how bad little girls had to suffer at the ages of my nieces and nephews 5 and 6 years of age .Its horrible its UN caused for. That shouldn’t be done. But in the eyes of the people their country it was the right thing to do. The men they felt as if it was just right. They figured that they were helping them, keeping them from their self , but in the end , they were really hurting them, and in a way killing them.
And I feel their pain in a way .I understand how the parents feel. Getting cut on feeling all the pain. Because they don’t want them to give themselves up. They want them to save themselves for marriage .So their held down tied to a table. Praying that they cut the right thing and if they don’t they figure oh well next person . it seemed like they showed know remorse . They didn’t care if those people those mothers lost their little girls they just wanted to make sure they weren’t able to have sex. Because men so called ruled what ever they said goes. The women had know say so.
As going through and listening to many people many women as adults now saying how bad they were hurt. How they couldn’t not have any satisfaction with their husband because they were cut and it makes them have flash backs of when the men cut them when they were taken from their beds in the middle of the night while they were asleep. Know one in our world today would be able to take the pain they did. Be able to sit and even watch. You could barley take a shot by the doctor. So how could we as women be able to stand being cut by people that had No type of experience it was just something they came up with. The looks upon their faces made you want to cry.
This made me want to think outside of the box. What would happen if we as young and older women had to go though that? I believe it would make lots of people want to kill themselves. Just so they want have to go though the pain.

WOW. Your images REALLY grab the reader's attention. Please include the links, one for each post, to credible sources. This could be a source of an article that included the image, or a website that mentions Fatema, etc.
ReplyDeleteAMAZING work, Katema. It is so exciting to see how invested you are in this difficult, challenging topic of female genital mutilation.
In tribal societies it is the men who mutilate the boys, and the women who mutilate the girls. It is generally supported by most of the community as being necessary. All such mutilations are reprehensible. To present this issue as men oppressing women is misleading sexist hypocrisy. Campaigning to protect girls from genital mutilation in far of lands, whilst ignoring the genital mutilation of boys in your own society, is also an act of the most profound evil!
