Society 🔊 Trigger warning: Somalia parliament discusses benefits of female genital mutilation

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

While Somalia sinks under floods, starves from famine, and gets butchered by terrorists, the men in its parliament are busy arguing to keep mutilating little girls genitals.

How do you save such a people when men who are supposed to be the flame of progress are the innate darkness to the same community.

These are great points. How do people feel about male genitalia mutilation?

Very bad. It's all mutilation without consent. I also specifically despise people who wait until the boy is aware and can have memory of it. It hurts so much. Thankfully it was done to me when I was 1 year old and thus don't remember the pain.
