Chanel Ayan's heartbreaking childhood story | Season 1 | Real Housewives of Dubai 

Yess

I agree 🤣🤣🤣🤣, she’s the nene leaks of Dubai

It is not something that male children escape, in fact foir every girl there are more than six boys who undergo GM. As long as boys are ignored the status quo will be upheld to the detriment of girls as well as boys.

Yes...

somali*

not every nationality ends in 'ian'

I remember a model by the name of Waris Diri brought the worlds attention to this practice and spoke out against it some years ago. She wrote a book about her horrific experience with it. The book gained considerable attention to it and shed light thiis issue.

outdated and dangerous is an understatement

Yet in a different comment thread under this video one guy is questioning how you define mutlIa. atlon. Apparently sewing up a female's labla leaving only a small hole for urination is apparently not mutlla. atlon. SMH.

@@Sas-rf9sy it is mutilation as they cut the clitoris off, they believe that the female private parts is only for reproduction and not sexual intercourse so yes it is mutilation because they burn the needle for sterilisation not only burning the skin but causing infections as the body heals

Sarah really is beautiful but I believe her positively makes others uncomfortable. And she should not have to change to please others3.

They consider being mean and shady entertaining cool and good tv unfortunately.

People are projecting their miserableness onto her. I’m a very positive person and I find I receive the same backlash in my personal life from people who aren’t 100% happy.

Was she saying that her vagina was sewn up all the way until adulthood? She mentioned that she could not have sex . Barbaric 😔

@@christinerostrata7460 yes i think she had the full "treatment". Sewn up completely with only a small outlet for relieving herself. Whoever thought thisfgm up is a misogynist.

It is a religious practice. Majority who does it are Muslims. You’ll find it in the Hadiths. Where the prophet Muhammad gets asked about it and he says, if you have to do it don’t cut too deep. Islam doesnt as far as I know tell Muslims to do it to girls, but it doesn’t also forbid it. Thy follow the prophet and if he allows it, thy will follow it. There is also this part that is called the sunnah cutting wish in islam the sunnah is following what Muhammad said and did. His way of life.

Omg ik crying my eyes out...

and boys, in fact a lot more boys.

It is a barbaric practice in all its forms which is performed and condoned in one form or another all over the world. The fight against it is undermined however when the popular but false narrative is pushed as you do here. Most victims have been successfully socially conditioned to feel fine about it. If most female victims were infertile then they would hardly belong to some of the most baby producing communities on the planet! Severe bleedings and lesions are not generally the cause of female infertility, infections which spread are.

@@fritnat i am talking from the part of the world i come from. Instead of accusing me, you better try to know what are my afinities with what i describe first

@@ginetteyamato2554 From whichever part of the world you come from, the practice is condoned in one form or another. My "accusation" has nothing to do with your "affinities" but what you wrote.

@@ginetteyamato2554 I mentioned Americans because they are the major problem when it comes to fighting it.

@Somali Womxn Yes that's exactly what i said, it is not every woman who get infertile but most of them. It is such a traumatising experience for woman genital.

Right its so sad also kenyan here✋ Nairobian kwanza😊

But you should know it’s only happening in African Muslim community. No other tribes do this to a women. I got friends from Kenya, that a Christians but never happened in their family.

@@luisafrance1635 not all Muslims/not all Africans

​@@luisafrance1635 exactly thank you for saying this

What the actual f. Thanks for sharing this. The social control of female bodies, percieved purity, virginity, sexuaIity takes horrible forms. This is all so ignorant, wrong and misogynistic. Just when you think you heard it all...

@@Sas-rf9sy it still horrifies me till this day. You’re most welcome.

Generally GM is worse for boys than girls.

At least there is widespread sympathy and focus on them whereas boys suffering this practice have virtually none.

@@fritnat Typical, making it about yourself 😒

@@Rooooxy How is that making it about myself?

@@fritnat Of course the circumcision of baby boys, often only a few days old, is absolutely wrong and awful...I was livid, when the parliament in my home country approved of this medieval practice...in general it's unbelievable how people are so obsessed with their religious beliefs that they don't care about a child's health...but still you have to acknowledge that the practice on girls is way more brutal

@@tamarakorb So you are claiming that the "circumcision of baby boys" is way less brutal than "the practice on girls". By the "practice on girls" I take it you mean "FGM". The widely used definition of FGM comes from WHO and is any non medical injury to the female gen... WHO defines male circumcision as the removal of the male 4skin. So your claim then becomes the removal of the 4skin of baby boys is way less brutal than any non medical injury to the female gen.. Are you serious?

She is a model

@@lilianjowi1754 i never saw her with Naomi or kendall.i would Like to See her and Naomi together

She is not only a successful model but she has an agency. She works in Dubai though so you wont see the ads as easily.

@@thezu9250 oh i See . What Kind of modeling they do in Dubai ? She walks For Dubai Designers right ? I am happy For her . Hope she will get stronger mentally soon because she shouldnt be ashamed From who she is . I really wish her the best

@@feridedogan7653 She also worked for international brands. You can look her up. She’s in her mid 40s so a lot of her career highlights happened earlier but she’s still modeling.

She’s interesting to some of us, she gives balance to the show like Cynthia cheeks Bailey gave to RHOA. Not all castmates need to be mean and ignorant.

@@Candyprincess971 all she. Talks about is fries?

If you actually watched the show Sara actually told her about the therapist… and she’s being a friend supporting her so what’s wrong

She literally asked about her life. In general this counsellor is not professional at all.

Like?

@@judyneno4492 Somalia, Kenya, Ethiopia.. I'm from Kenya. Even in Nairobi, some shady clinics do carry out the procedure. Obviously Not across all tribes/communities

Central Africa as well from what I was told by women from there.

@Somali Womxn but I don't consider this modification. This is extreme patriarchy where they have control of their women's bodies and minds. From the stories i've heard in my community, it was carried out much older women. Almost like a co-sign to show that it's a necessary right of passage for girls. As Ayan has said, in her community it's to preserve virginity. I've heard others add to that and say it keeps women in check coz it kills sex drive. She will not stray. The clitoris is like a penis, so they remove it😭😭 Can you imagine?

And so that you know its malicious, male circumcision is a ceremony and it's celebrated. The way men are cut to this day globally is the same way they were cut in the traditional African society. But girls are usually whisked away in the night and held by other people because they know how brutal it Is. Cut using the same razor blade..its Heartbreaking stuff.

Do your research on mens circumcision and female genital mutulation… 2 of these things are very different. You’re comment whilst I understand how you would go to that conclusion if you don’t know the difference but if you do then it’s ridiculous.

@@kieramcgregor I have done a good deal of research unlike you. Naturally the gender of the victim has no bearing on the suffering of flesh being cut and very little on the consequences. To think otherwise is an expression of extreme sexism.

Your delusional thinking it’s the same thing. Both are wrong imo but female is much more dangerous, much more damaging, higher change of miscarriages, damage to nerve endings, etc while the male is Sam ge to nerve endings but still able to have sensation and feel pleasure, no issue with having children or pain. Both are wrong but you have to stop comparing. Btw I’m in the healthcare field so I have first hand knowledge on this.

It’s just weird how when we talk about women’s suffering there’s all ways one person who brings up male issues as a competition. Can we focus on women issues for once?

@@Rooooxy If you think female is much more dangerous then show me cases where dozens of girls have died at a time. Show me where short of death, girls have lost their vag. as boys have lost their peen. Give examples of girls losing their life after undergoing this in modern health facilities. Where is your evidence of increased risk of miscarriage? Males invariably lose thousands of nerve endings, females typically very few. Male and female usually do not lose the capacity to feel pleasure. How is it no issue with having childrfen if you have lost ypur peen? Even when girls have undergone the most severe form, they generally have no problem having children, in fact they have some of the highest rates! Being in the healthcare field is absolutely no reason for you to have first hand knowledge. I have first hand knowledge too.

Is this really what you took away from this clip?

@@rosa61217 have you seen her wig ?

that's what you're worried about? her wig? not the fact that she's was mutilated as a child? how insensitive 🙄

Same as ur brain Its a little off but we look past it
