And its war in yemen the United Nations says hundreds of children have been killed or injured in attacks and schools and hospitals both the Saudi Led Coalition and who the rebels are being blamed by kind of reports from the u. N. The report lists four thousand recorded violations against children by Government Forces in some twenty zones of conflict along with over eleven thousand violations by nonstate groups but in a carrot and stick approach the format of the report has been altered those states or nonstate perpetrators that have been gauged with the un and committed to improving protection for children are placed in a separate blacklist from those parties that have shown no remorse or concern about their actions the saudi Led Military Coalition in yemen is placed in this category what became of under clear he said there were some listed parties even through many years to three years that had generally been attempting to put in place may shows that i mean they had acknowledged the problem the creation of the category may be an attempt to persuade perpetrators that there is political value in engaging with the u. N. But critics contend it could also be a patent attempt to diminish the saudi anger that followed the military coalitions inclusion in last years blacklist frankly. The facts speak for themselves the numbers except in response the saudi ambassador said the coalition was committed to working with the u. N. But rejected what he called inaccurate figures quoted in the report we exercise the maximum degree of care and precaution to avoid civilian harm. The regrettable effects of this conflict are a direct result of the whole theory and forces loyal to former president signing a use of immoral and illegal actions that put this in million population at risk while acknowledging that the Saudi Coalition had committed to measures protecting children in yemen but insisted the Saudi Coalition still has charges to answer in her report virginia said that dangers to children in yemen show little sign of diminishing i urge the coalition to improve these measures she said the dangers to children in yemen remain an acceptable a high in two thousand and sixteen the question is a threat to children in conflict zones like yemen less today than it was during the reporting period last year amidst yet another round of claim and counterclaim the answer would appear to be no.

I know other women based on what other women have told me that is there is no there is no good in it if they tell you this is hurting us this is literally killing us and we need to stop we do then listen. The committal. Of the dog whistle. Im surprised that a young man should feel so strongly about holding on to this tradition when so harmful. If ever g. M. Is to end changing mens attitudes will be essential. To have not Done University hospital collects detailed information on trends in female cutting. Medicare. Two thousand and two all antenatal patients are asked what kind of cuts have had and if they intend to cut their daughters. This is rare to see a woman who is. My daughter. In two thousand and two ninety seven percent of female patient had undergone the pharaonic cut and most intended the same for their daughters. But that has changed. Went into type. One they calls. It a risk and cut. Step. One is the one that theres a little bit the tip but ted turner did cut a half of the troops we know or cuts doesnt have any benefits. I just. Want to my friend dr shapiro introduces me to a friend whos at the hospital on a post natal liver birth order days ago so there are interesting bits of the circle that start. With a midwife and know the harmful effects of for only cutting from passing experience. Something else all. The time. So if you. Want to eliminate i cant. Close. My for that or secondly you are coward why dont you talk. The first of all the way i feel in sixteen years. The minister should secondly. I feel. Bad you dont get to see this problem this is. The same Circle Communication i feel when i see linda took on the question when a marriage. Did go for the cut and never fuck that to me he. Said if it. Did you feel any resentment towards your mother and your grandmother yeah but to my mother she did no question. Of them leaving somaliland i feel privileged to have met a woman who share their stories with me. Im overcome with emotion as i realize virtually every woman here has been caught. Ive always known about the numbers and the facts and the figures but when you come face to face to all women whove gone through it it seems like the woman who after endorses and the children were after indoors as you go through cycles of pain. For what. Has happened to so many women and girls like my mom. Im so happy that. I dont know why she didnt come. But im so grateful. Because my life would have been so much different because i feel good. Over the go through the pain. To go through that and theyre not to be able to do something that its a its a god given thing to peek. You cant pee. And then you promise to ration and then when you have to have sex you dont enjoy it and its like painful. And then you have to give birth and then it just continues. Im so grateful that. I didnt go through that and when i mean. To go through it. Ive come to kenya to find out more about a totally different culture. That over forty tribes here with diverse cultures and traditions. The majority dont practice the cuts are torn. But several including the masai cutting has been a centuries old tradition until recently. Today meeting twenty eight year old nice and getting. Myself managed to talk to me rather kate f. E. M. And have village of my young not. Traditionally for the messiah cutting is a rite of passage marking the transition from god to womanhood usually between the ages of mine and fourteen. The ritual involves some most of you. He lost his release because of what i used to see gas even if theyre trying to be strong but you can see that deafening a lot of us are bleeding we saw these. Nice with the only gun in her village who refused to be cut. Off my classmates who are from this community all of them up and are going. And they didnt they were not able to get they have to find a husband for you. So right now almost all of them have three four five children and. Whats your name. Are what a beautiful name have they been the second thought. You know they have been fact im saved how do you feel about not being caught. So what would you like to do when you grow up. Ok thank you. As a result of nices determination to end f. E. M. No young girl has been cut here since two thousand and twelve. My thigh and a patriarchal society. And i first had to persuade the Young Warriors called morans to help and the practice. Recruiting douglas the leader of them runs was a beginning. What did you do nice to make them change their opinion about that lesson was their first doesnt work cept my while the resistance was there from all over but then again i had another treat because when i go to them ill go with someone like that last so ill make sure that he talks before i talk so what did you do to persuade them around in the community. It was very hard for us to conform to the boys because the say that they can not. Because even god is not sometimes theyd shes not a woman then if we need an example of some of the dead that we have seen in the community they said ok its true and lets forget it i think it took more than five years what them just to accept it now we decided to come up with some time until we came up and i prayed i said if the pentagon from this community and we want them to upgrade to become a woman we bless them then we look at the same cows that we celebrate hold together but we didnt cut so thats what weve come up with. Douglas bring some of his friends are morons to meet me. Yeah we mix of moderate to more than ok i dont mind it more than do you know what actually happens when i go is cut you know get along get what you call your hair and im very sorry and i would literally move it yeah when youre loving anyone i going to. I dont know. I dont know. That i havent gone down and i mean you know when you you know we want to. You know. Around a graphic video over to you know go with a knife. You know what i did that. We were. Going to just think how do you. Want to learn that were going to do you have a daughter. How would you feel if someone said she needed to be caught and that we were going. Well i think it was one of the powerful tools weve been using when we address them with the issues of female genital mutilation and there was another very persuasive incentive for the Young Warriors. As we talk and talk about sex you see most of the. Most of the men they see if they sleep with a gun is very sweet insects. Thats what also contains most of them what i have to say we dont need. Meeting the messiah in a minute gives me hope. If one woman can change attitudes in one village perhaps its time to possible to change entire countries. Their full father says he its. Twenty five. Dependent. They. Defend. Preparing for the possibility of. Documentary this time.
