It is the practice of removing the clitoris and labia of a girl or woman and sewing the edge of the vulva to prevent intercourse. This is complete shaving of the vagina and stitches to prevent the girl from having sex.
The vagina is sealed, leaving a small hole through which the girl can menstruate or urinate.
The girl’s leg was bound with a rope for days to allow the wound to heal. The wound usually takes between 15 and 40 days to heal. During this time, the girl’s legs are tied and she cannot move.
Basically, the stitches are made so that the husband can open them again on the wedding night so that he can have an intimate relationship with her. Imagine someone opening a stitch and immediately having sex with her.
Imagine the pain, I mean intense pain!!!
Imagine the traumatic experience, the pain that the girl will go through.
Isn’t it better to let him decide whether to marry a virgin than to do that?
During birth, many women require repeated incisions because the vagina is too small for the baby to pass through.
It also causes urinary tract infections, fistulas and infertility in women.
The worst part is that women in Africa do this. I think this is where feminism should start.
It should be fought for African feminists and not about who should wash the dishes or cook or other irrelevant issues.
For your information, it is still practiced in some parts of Africa.
According to research, it was also practiced in North America, Australia and New Zealand.
It’s heartbreaking
Girls do not deserve this abuse for being girls.
And the most curious thing is that no ideological movement has even tried to raise this issue or even talk about it.
(So if these inhuman acts start in your country, you will oppose it.)
