While surfing the internet I stumbled upon this site: Clitoraid.org. It is an organization that restores hope to circumcised women by tracing the clitoral root to rebuild it afresh. If you visit the site you will see more and enjoy more.

In the name of tradition
They had cut her clitoris
They mutilated her vagina
But hope has now emerged
Clitoraid came to her rescue
To rebuild her lost clitoris
To restore her pleasure in full
To regain her shattered dignity
To make her a total woman again
To give her back her looted right
To reinstitute her dismantled ego
To rekindle her dying self image

Through the dark clouds of despair
Rays of hope have started shining
Let the bells of justice toll loud
Let the sounds of misery turn into
A melody of the highest inspiration
But along these rebuilding efforts
The flame of the Anti-FGM campaign
Should keep burning across Africa

I remember a piece that you had written in the past about this horrible proceedure...but now it's wonderful to know that there is help available to repair this damage.

2008 and yet we treat, in the name of tradition, religion or whatyouhave, little girls with a bestiality only known to sadist monsters, with the compliance of honor laws and the "right of the man"

Such violence against women, It is so hurtful not only to the victims but to anyone hearing of such acts. Thank goodness for someone like you to bring such inhumanity to the people...Keep on speaking, Abdi, you are doing the right thing.
Much Peace, love, and light,

I feel sad for the women who had been violated of something that was so natural given to them by God. It is a pleasure given and was brutally taken away. I'm glad that the technology has made it possible to rebuild what has been brutalized and destroyed. Some women have really suffered a lot!!!
