This brave woman explains the feeling of carrying out FGM, female geniuse.
While for people in the world female genetic disability is an indisposed and disgusting act, for 200 million women it is a frightening reality, according to a U report. NICEF.
The practice of this ritual has spread to Africa, the Middle East and Asia, and is usually performed in girls since they are babies until the age of 15, before puberty began.
The effects of FGM can be extremely dangerous, painful and traumatic, so that in some cases they have led to severe consequences to death. Activist Hibo Warde has talked about this reality and co-existence.
Hibo was born in Somalia, where 98% of women have carried out this procedure and she is the very victim of this habit.
She's been talking about “Wopman's Hour” what women experience after the procedure and how the simplest things change, like urinating in the toilet.
You realize everything has changed since the first moment. The urination process is also painful first. In the first five minutes, there is terrible pain”. At the age of 18, Hibo went to Britain and many advised him to visit a specialist who would do a procedure called defibulation, in which the vagina's lips are opened surgically. If the doctor helps you open up again the change is too small. Sex is very difficult because the hole is too small. You may feel satisfaction, but very rarely, the activist has expressed himself.
But physical pain is nothing in the face of emotional pain. “First you experience a psychological stalemate because the only thing that is accompanying you all the time is the pain and trauma you've experienced. From that moment on, everything that will happen in your vagina will frighten you”.
Even though it is still working on awareness of people about the issue, more than 1700 FGM victims have been addressed to specialists in Britain, even though over 30 years this type of intervention is prohibited by law.
