EVERY year around July and August, thousands of girls
disappear from homes and schools for extended holidays never to return the same
again.
It’s a
part of the annual “cutting season” where girls younger than 15 are sent to
visit relatives only to have their genitalia mutilated using knives, scissors
or pieces of glass and sometimes sewn up using thorns.
“Summer generally is what they call the
cutting season which also means that people have often taken girls abroad in
the summer holidays to have this done’’
If you
notice any changes in your neighbour, friends and relatives kids please contact
the officials. This is a barbaric practice and no one should be going through
this in the 21st Century. It
has been proved beyond doubt how dangerous this is to girls and women.
Let’s
show female genital mutilation the red card this summer!
