evil

Even the name makes me quiver

There are practising communities in the UK who carry out this procedure.

I don't think I've ever heard anything as horrific as that little girl's screams. You could hear the absolute agonising pain in her cries. It made me cry to hear it.

A little girl?? Why? Tsk

yep, growing trend. shameful treatment of kids within cultures who oppress women. no other reason for this but to deny women sexual stimulation. fkwits the lot of them

Its just getting into the reasons why. Apparently it's considered manly to 'open' your wife. I.E.. To tear her.

not even sayin a word, i will leave this to the pc brigade to excuse

One of the women who's trying to raise awareness is talking to a group of men about it. Its been illegal since 1985 here. Somali mothers are some of the people who insist their daughters are mutilated.

There are 3 different kinds. Removing the c.litoris is the least invasive.

Ah right.

I hate it,it's obscene

And for fks sake the word c.litoris is NOT A SWEAR WORD!!

She's talking to young guys from these communities who say it 'calms girls down'

She's explaining the procedure to the guys, and one of them is almost in tears..

only since 1985 because it was alien to these shores. It's barbaric.the mothers don't know what they missed out on so think it's alright to inflict the same on their daughters. castration of the males would be a different matter. b****rds

crosses my legs

Calms them down as in they feel it's a sexual deterrent? Why these people think sex is so wrong is beyond me.

These young men in their teens and 20s had no idea. They're questioning why the hell they've been misled to believe its a good thing.

Yes, exactly that. And a lot of these grown adult women do shy away from sex even now, they were so traumatised and mutilated as children.
