Today, living in the 21st century women and children still suffer from violence, abuse and harmful culture practice. This is a forum to talk about those issues.

Group Moderators: Luca, Frank

TERMINOLOGIES: Female Genital Mutilation is also known as: Infibulation, female genital cutting, female circ*mcision, excision, and female genital alteration. All of these terms refer to the practise of cutting the genital areas of girls and women, none of them is any way less of an assault on the dignity of girls or women or any less of a gross violation of human rights.

No good god would hate women so much that he would let them be deprived of their sexual identity and pleasure. If god did not intend for women to enjoy their sexuality, he would have created them without the capacity for it.

Female Genital Mutilation is not a harmless cultural Practice. It is an assault on the dignity and human rights of women and children.

I would like to invite you via below clickable picture link to the group devoted to discussions about all kinds of pressing social issues and forms of abuse
