Lets talk about female circumcision. the effects it has on women and after reading the story, wht would be ur reaction if u found out that ur grandmother, an aunt or relative subjected ur daughter to circumcision without ur consent

JUICY JAYNE ON THE NIGHT CAFE
READ THIS:
There is A 17 years old girl, miss Patricia youmgbo, who has been declared missing by family members after she reportedly fled home to avoid circumcision.. it is learnt that the girls decision to run away from home followed the death of her younger sister, joy, after she was forced to undergo circumcision on January 15th this year….
Now who does this, these days, after loads of enlightenment on the damage circumcision has done to women and marriages…I mean? Lets be serious now, we no longer are in the Stone Age ok?
Now, an uncle to the missing girl, Mr. Jonah said that Patricia had fled the family home in Amassoma, in the southern part of ijaw local government area of bayelsa state since feb 14th…. He said that the two sisters who lived in Lagos had came home in December in 2011 to spend the Christmas with their grandmother and that their grand mother and some extended family had ordered them to be circumcised before returning back to Lagos….
They forced Patricia’s sister, joy to be circumcised and that triggered the excessive bleeding that eventually led to her death….
Report says that joy, who was once full of life before being forced to be circumcised, died from injuries as a result of crude traditional practice of female ge***al mutilation…
It just shows that there are so still some places in nigeria that needs to have like radio set to know that this 2012, even my grandma knows that circumcision is bad…and should not be done at all! So guys what do you think should be done to the grandmother?
Infact what would you do if you woke up to a bitter reality that your child who went to visit your mother for Christmas in the village, got circumcised and she bled to death….?

say no to FGM- FEMALE GE***AL MUTILATION

Yesterday was the 9th annual International Day of Zero Tolerance to Female Ge***al Mutilation. An estimated 140 million girls and women worldwide are currently living with the consequences of FGM, a cruel practice that no one should endure.

On February 6, 2003, Stella Obasanjo, the First Lady of Nigeria, made an official declaration on “Zero Tolerance to FGM” in Africa during a conference organized by the ‘Inter-African Committee on Traditional Practices Affecting the Health of Women and Children’ (IAC). Then the UN Sub-Commission on Human Rights adopted this day as an international awareness day.

Will my father ever know the truth? MAYBE NOT! I will not do him this evil in his old age. I will not ever mention it again, it would kill him to find out that what he meant for good was turned against him. He would never forgive him.
