One thousand nine hundred nine i decided to come back to move something for most people because i most needed here how have you been involved in the fight against. Places which will help those who have fibro fibro to say too much. Which is which form is the collective blood. The blood if the species theory small the ministership cannot go out or if the mantle in the ghetto gets them in a station there will be something left in the uterus this will form the tamasha this becomes bigger people will say this she has. A baby in her stomach so the doctor takes out this and that there will be ok. I have help from the megan Maternity Hospital in arkansas. And. I want to live it was priceless were going to see who said that it was. Two days a week and of counselors coming out Educational Outreach work in the community.

As i watch these young people at a wedding reception i wonder how many of the men would be willing to marry an uncut woman in the future. For saying a local journalist posted an afghan message on social media i was curious to know why i did the facebook update of where you said some men believe f. D. M. Deduces a womans sexual desire they say this increases her appeal what made you write this i want to talk because its problem for us. To say against the down human.

I come from a culture that also practices that im not the cup. 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. To the camilla. 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 since 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. In two thousand and two ninety seven percent of female patient had undergone the pharaonic cut. Most intended the thing for their daughters. But that has changed theres an improvement in the tire. And the return to the other having entire one term to which they calls. It a risk getting cut. One is the one. Tip but tied to a dick at a half of the troops we know or cuts doesnt have any benefits. I just. Want to my friend dr drew introduces me to a friend whos at the hospital on a postnatal liver birth order days ago so there are interesting bits of the circuit and stuff. Of the midwife and know the harmful effects of for only cutting from passing experience. Something else all. The time. So if you. Really want to youre in late i cant. Close. My for that if secondly you are coward while you talk. The festival the way i feel in that sixteen year. Demonstration secondly. I feel. Bad you dont get to see this problem this is. The same Circle Communication i feel when i see linda took over creation when america. Did go for the cut and never fucking that to me. Fred if it. Did you feel any resentment towards your mother and your grandmother but to my mother she heard the question. As im leaving somalia i feel privileged to have met a woman who share the stories with me. But im overcome with emotion as i realize virtually every women here have been caught. And what it actually means. 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 have to endorse this and the children 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 to feel good. Over the go through the pain. To go through that and then not to be able to do something that its a good god given thing to peek. You cant pee. And then your premise 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 meet. Those women who have to go through it. Ive come to kenya to find out more about a totally different culture. But over forty tribes here with diverse cultures and traditions. The majority dont practice a cuts at all. But several including the masai cutting have 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 girlhood to womanhood usually between the ages of mine and fourteen. The ritual involves some. 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 leading. This Community Nice with the only gun in her village who refused to be cut. Off my classmates who are from this community all of them undergoing. 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 a. Whats your name my name is our what a beautiful name have they been a second thought. No 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 lauren. 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 calderons 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 their adolescence was their first cousin to accept my walk the resistance was there from all over but then again i had and ive actually because when i go to them ill go with someone like that glass 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 be say that they can not. Because even god is not sometimes aids shes not a woman then 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 want them just to accept it now we decided to come up with some time until we came up and let the parade go by said if the pentagon from this community and we want them to upgrade to become a woman we bless them then with a look at the same cow 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 might it be more than ok i dont mind it more and do you know what actually happens when i cut you know get along get what you call your hair and im very sorry and i would approve it and i wouldnt allow your loving anyone i got. I dont know i am what you. Dont know. That i will you know when you. Want to. And i know im sure with some around a graphic video over to you dont go with a knife. You know what i did that. We were. Going to sing 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 cut and that we were going. Well i think it was one of their powerful tools whod been using. Them with the issues of female genital mutilation and there was another home very persuasive incentive for the Young Warriors. When you see it as a moron as we talk and talk about six you see most of the mortar rounds out of most of the men they say if they sleep with a gun is very sweet insects now thats what also contains most of them what i have to say we dont need. So ok. But. Meeting the messiah in a minute gives me hope. If one woman can change attitudes in one village perhaps its time its possible to change entire countries. In the heart of the amazon.
