INTRODUCTION TO CIRCUMCISION

YOU THOUGHT ONLY MALE GOT CIRCUMCISED, IT’S A LIE!! SOME WOMEN GET CIRCUMCISED TO!!! IMAGINE THAT. 

How would you feel if your mouth was tied together but only untied when the person in power feels like releasing you? How would you feel if your nose was tied together and you could barely breathe? How would you feel if you did not have any right over your genital? These are some questions we need to ask ourselves in order to understand female circumcision and empathize for women who are deprived from their sexual rights.  As a young female adult, I was surprise to find out that some women got circumcised because the society they live in believe that they did not need to have sex until they are married.  Female circumcision similar to female genital mutilation is a brutal action down to women. Female circumcision is the partial or total removal of the external female genitalia. or other injury to the female genital organs for non-medical reasons. The action is done to symbolize that women who experience this lack control over their body.
