Fgm robs all girls of their innocence and their dignity and their childhoods and it turns the excitement and the anticipation of their wedding night into a traumatising and nightmarish ordeal from hell
All girls all over the world are precious and important in the eyes of god no matter what they look like because god looks at the inside not whats external
i still don't understand how did this practice become a tradition in the first place, like the first woman to have it done was like "yawn, what a beautiful day but i have nothing to do, let's try something new" and then she experienced the pain and was like "wow that was so cool, why don't we all do this to our children" or what???
Fgm is not only an African practice. It also happens in Indonesia, Iraq and Yemen. About 49% of Indonesian women undergo it (often carried out by health practitioners in medical facilities), 8% of Iraqis, 19% of Yemenis. Various types of FGM are also practised in various circumstances in Colombia, Jordan, Oman, Saudi Arabia, Malaysia, Singapore, the United Arab Emirates, and India.Certain ethnic groups in Asian countries practice FGM, including in communities in India, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Maldives, Pakistan and Sri Lanka. In the Middle East, the practice occurs in Oman, the United Arab Emirates and Yemen, as well as in Iraq, Iran, Jordan and the State of Palestine. In the areas where it is practiced it is done regardless of religious belief, as it is also done by some Christians and Jews as well as people of other religions. Gynaecologists in 19th-century Europe and the United States removed the clitoris to treat insanity and masturbation. A British doctor, Robert Thomas, suggested clitoridectomy as a cure for nymphomania in 1813. In 1825 the medical journal The Lancet described a clitoridectomy performed in 1822 in Berlin by Karl Ferdinand von Graefe on a 15-year-old girl who was masturbating excessively. Some European and US doctors also carried out the procedure to "cure" women of lesbianism, irritability, fits "hysteria", overexcitability, erotomania, etc.
Poor girls! so sad! it is 21 st century but such barbadic cruel and useless practice exicts, shame on the ones who finds it to be normal.That is terrible! the men who want their wives to undergo this torture do not deserve them, such men must use rubber dolls instead of alive women.Women do not deserve such much pain! that must be banned forever!
being someone who has gone through this, I think I should make this fact clear. mothers, sisters, grandmas don't do this to be evil. they do it thinking it is the best for their daughter. they have gone through this, so have their mothers. they truly think this the best for their women. I don't know if you know this, but the "purpose" of fgm is to discourage girls from engaging in sexual activity. it is also the only way to ensure a girl's virginity until marriage. the logic is if the girl doesn't feel good during sex, or in serious cases can't even have sex due to closing, then she won't have sex to begin with. also since it is usually traditional communities that do this, it is important that a girl is "pure". if a girl's virginity is questioned, then it decreases her chances of getting married. and in most communities that fgm is performed, it is important for a daughter to get married, have kids, etc. So mothers do this inorder for her daughter to not be made fun of for potentially being "impure". if everyone knows she has had fgm performed, no one questions her virginity, so marriage won't be a problem. I know this is very strange logic, but it has been done for so many generations that people think its the best option. I know I am writing a lot, but I just want you to know the mothers don't do it to be evil. no loving mother would want her daughter to be outcasted, so they just follow the social norms. this is why fgm is so hard to erase from ppl's minds. So plz don't blame the mothers, blame the act.
@@bjkl9936 blame the men! Blame a society where men are allowed EVERYTHING and not being educated to have the least little bit of selfconstraint and selfcontroll and women are treated as if they were second degree citizens, not worth more than any animal.
@@Freiya2011 In Kenyan society it's mostly boys who forceably have their genitals mutilated as it is in the world as a whole. This has zero to do with men allowed everything or how they are educated, you are just hijacking this issue to use in your hatred of men. There's actually a lot more respect paid to female genitals than male genitals and not just in the case of mutilating traditions but as a whole. Just look at RU-vid for example where there are thousands of explicit videos of boys of all ages, having their genitals mutilated but as good as none of girls. What about American mothers having their newborn sons cut to satisfy future sexual partners?
@@fritnat ah, a fighter "for the power of the foreskin". Well, if you need to do so... But you are just wrong stating that there were no videos on fgm on youtube. There are. Hundreds, if not thousands. Yes, America IS a strange country, in every respect and I'm glad that I live elsewhere! So I'll speak up against fgm and you do so against mgm.
@@Freiya2011 No, I fight against all genital mutilation of children irrespective of sex, creed or culture as we are all human beings with the same inailenable rights. Tell me if you see a child hit by a car do you first look to see if the victim is a girl before trying to help? Afterall I assume you wouldn't help a boy but leave men to do that. I didn't claim there weren't any videos on FGM on RU-vid obvioulsy as this is one! I wrote that there were as good as no explicit videos of girls having their genitals mutilated whereas there were thousands of such with boys. Whereever you live the boys in your community are not legally protected against the harmful cultural practice, that you are happy to live in such a community while fighting only for the tiny minority of girl victims of genital mutilation says much!
23 young and either Michigan or Wisconsin here in the United States were mutilated it went to the supreme Court of that state and they voted to let it happen because it was a religious practice. So please don't think it doesn't happen here those poor little girls were mutilated and it should have been prosecuted as child abuse.
Who wants women to be free god does he wants women to be free and safe leave them alone so that can admire his handiwork that has been created in his image
It makes more sense not to cut girls cos then theyre spared the trauma of period trouble,intimacy problems in marriage,pregnancy problems and childbirth and fistula problems
God gives us free will we can say no to fgm,my body my business,my right,ive got the right to say no to fgm,ive got the right to say to my family and my community my body belongs to me not to tradition
Why destroy what god sees as perfect he has seen what he has created and he says its good why why why wreck what god has created in his own image he sees women as beautiful and important leave it alone let the kids be kids leave them in peace god bless you amina
Fgm is soooooo wrong its not flamin required in the eyes of jesus you are a thousand percent perfect and beautiful why desecrate what has been declared perfect and whole by our eternal lord of mercy
In samburu culture you cant give birth until youre circumcised as if childbirth isnt painful enough you also have to be circumcised thats never gonna make any sense to me
It isnt necessary to butcher a girl so that she is clean.god has declared her to be clean in his eyes,therefore she is clean enough to be a woman as far as god is concerned
God gave us girls sex organs in order for husbands and wives to enjoy being together and to rejoice in their love for each other within the safe boundaries of marriage not so that some sick person can mutilate the girl and curse her with a horrendous life of misery and suffering and mental trauma until the day she dies

Dieynaba Nduwayo yes i’m aware, it’s a very backwards tradition. tbh the whole concept of virginity in general does not sit right with me. all it does is control women’s sexuality, it’s disgusting.
@@bjkl9936 yes excatly then they will keep us and use as much as they want with no regret but God is not blind this will end up even if its will be hard
