Ritualistic
Female Mutilation
[ send
me this paper ]
A 9 page essay on the practice of female genital
mutilation considered traditional in many parts of
Africa. Though not as prevalent in the cities, the
estimated numbers of girls subjected to the
ritualistic surgery, normally without the benefit of
anaesthesia, is between 90 and 94 percent. When
researchers ask why the mutilations are performed, the
standard reply is that it is tradition, or (more
rarely) that it enhances beauty. Native women are
working with villagers to help end the practice,
trying to help them see that not only is this surgery
unncessary, it is also physically and psychologically
damaging for a life time. Bibliography lists 8
sources.
