These are the hands of a traditional circumciser. A little brave girl talks to them

Cruel hands
Come not near me
You cut and infibulate
You cause pain, kill joy
I can´t see myslef bleeding
Many a girl lived in horror
Many more have died in horror
No part of my body is worthless
My clitoris is a piece of my heart
I never allow anybody to take it
It is essential, not accessory
It is there for a purpose
If you don´t know it ask God
Deprive me not of my rights
My rights to be a total woman
Cruel hands stay away from my way

Abdi-Noor,
I will never understand how man can hurt a little girl in that way or any way. I write alot about child abuse, I want to shout it to the world, LEAVE OUR CHILDREN ALONE! Thanks for helping me do that.

Blessings,
~Linda

Such senseless mutilation. I cannot understand how society can think this to be necessary. It is so crude and old country type ways.
We must do something to help these girls..It is very courageous of you, just like Dawn says, to write about this. If you know of such practices, then the world should know too.
I pray for these innocent children and their safety and health.
Peace, love, and light,
Amber "V"
