The Girl Fund

Female genital mutilation is a wildly horrific barbaric practice that is masqueraded as a cultural ritual it’s bastardized to make people believe it’s to keep women clean and make them a bride and it’s all under the pretence of this misogynist, sexist, gluttonous, sluttish, putrid swine of a false god. It is practiced where men’s piss is worth more than a woman in a religion that has lost all of its true values. In Africa, the Middle East and in Asia are the main corners of the world where this mutilation takes place.
There are:
6,600,000,000 people in the world
3,600,000,000 are female
2,000,000 mutilated females
300,000,000 girls will receive absolutely no education of any sort, simply because they are girls.
It's ironic how you can avoid persecution by your country based on race, religion, nationality, political opinion or a member certain social group but, if you’re a girl in one of these pastoral societies, your S.O.L when it comes to your vulva. The physical pain of going through infibulation just sounds unbearable. Usually with a rusted blade, or if you’re really lucky broken glass your aunts and mother who pin you to the on the floor and pry your legs open. Then some heartless old goat grandmother starts cutting away without any anesthetic she removes your clitoris, labia minora and majora and most of the tissue that pads the vaginal opening around the sphincter then sewn up with a pin size whole to let urine and menstrual blood flow.

The aftermath of the procedure is just as tragic usually there is lifelong pain worse than any menstrual cycle the unmutilated female will have. there is always the fear of you family disowning you if you do not go through with the procedure. So, if you don't go through with it your family gets rid of you and women are not allowed to own anything. the only thing left to do is starve to death. Instead of accepting their daughter’s body the way it is, the way it came into this world, men are outraged at the fact that the clitoris on the baby girls body is strictly for sexual pleasure. This all goes along with sexual ignorance. And the fact that it’s the aunts and mothers who lie and carry out the practice on the girl doesn’t help the situation. I was told the answer is education even if it’s helping these girls write in their native language. EDUCATION is the answer…..The Girl Fund does exactly that.
