  1. My thoughts #

    survivor stories? like a nick there would kill u right? totally misguiding ppl. bohra circumcision is less than removal of prepuce too. Its nothing more than a pain from a vaccination. Its more symbolic than patriarchy motivated. Its done only and only because the bohras believe it was said by the prophet . Survivor is too big a word for this procedure.

    • Dear Anonymous, there is nothing religious about this and you know that or you would have identified yourself and the source (the Prophet?) Please do not dismiss something you choose not to understand. I’m very happy that you endured no more pain than a vaccination, but 50,000 women disagree and want it stopped.

  2. Little contribution to your article : artist I realized a work ” Infibulation “about female genital mutilation.
    I have presented this work in Art Galery but also in french high schools to open the debate. When Art opens up dialogue !
    If you want to discovery the séries : https://1011-art.blogspot.com/p/blog-page.html
    And a drawing about inviolabilt to the woman’s body. I have dedicated this work to Dr. Denis Mukwege, Nobel Peace Prize in 2018: https://1011-art.blogspot.com/p/noli-me-tangere.html
