No child should be cut! The term "FGM" is discriminatory when used generally as here. It was coined by a radical feminist who had a cultural background of genital cutting according to which her own sons should have their genitals mutilated. For that reason it was imperative for her to establish a sharp distinction between her cultural cutting practice and African ones which don't treat girls differently from boys. So instead of using this exclusionary deeply sexist and racist term drop the "F" and simply call it GM to include all victims, the vast majority of which are boys.
Great piece bro. Amazing work.
Thanks for this piece Rono. Very proud of Noella. Having been with her in Kesses, I understand her enthusiasm. No girl should be cut!
