“Come with me, we need to go to the bakery,” Dania’s mother said one morning. “That day, I experienced fear, deception and excruciating pain. I was only seven," Dania told us, recounting how she was tricked into undergoing #FGM.
Today, she's working to end FGM in her community.
We really need to be vocal in spreading this advocacy message to end #FGM

“The people that are promoting and supporting FGM, they're the ones that are actually engaging, targeting especially young men in the madrassas, going into these Arabic schools, and using those places to bring them to join the fight to continue #FGM.” tinyurl.com/5n796jc9

Obviously and correctly the world is appalled by #FGM female genital mutilation, but not so concerned about male genital mutilation. Why is it okay for young boys, often babies to have their genitalia mutilated, circumcised first a religious ideology. Just as abhorrent and wrong.
@UN_Women#FGM is so 90’s. Have you heard about first world left wing progressives advocating for the sterilization and mutilation of children as a treatment for mental illness? #cdnpoli#onpoli#ldnont

My #FGM Heartbreak💔

"My father didn't allow FGM to be done to us (his three daughters) because when he was young, he saw his only sister bleed to death
"It diminishes sexual pleasure" is a strange reason to oppose #FGM. It could very well *improve* a woman's sexual experience. Taking a healthy, non-consenting girl and forcibly cutting her genitals would still be morally repugnant. The same is true of male infant #circumcision.
@AWRA_org Four years ago, we produced this animation #Tishala -a story told through the eyes of a young girl, who represents the millions of girls from different communities that still practice #FGM
It is a cry for an end to the harmful practice.
