The first big case is in court since FGM was made illegal in Egypt 6 years ago. A 13 year old died after FGM and the doctor claims he was treating her for genital warts! Here is a snip from the article:
"If convicted, Fadl [the doctor] could be sentenced to up to two years in prison and a $700 fine. The father also faces lesser criminal charges and a decision is expected September 25."
I propose that the sentence be modified such that the doctor, father, husband and other men involved in FGM get the equivalent part of their anatomy cut off. I think that would improve things pretty quickly.
This stuff, domestic violence, rape and so much else is rooted in the "my woman, my property" mentality. Please check your mouth and your mind and don't say or do things that promote that mindset.
