2 Million people against Female Circumcision{FGM: Female Genital Mutilation}Please remember; INJUSTICE ANYWHERE IS A THREAT TO JUSTICE EVERYWHERE!!!We are blessed to be living under a System that gives us the right to make our own choices. You and I can make a difference by supporting this CA– USE against such a SATANIC Practise! Depending on the degree of mutilation, FGM can have a number of short-term health implications:
1. Severe pain and shock
2. Infection

Long-term implications can entail:
1. Extensive damage of the external reproductive system
2. Uterus, vaginal and pelvic infections
3. Cysts and neuromas
4. Increased risk of Vesico Vaginal Fistula
5. Complications in pregnancy and child birth
6. Psychological damage
7. Sexual dysfunction
8. Difficulties in menstruationIn addition to these health consequences there are considerable psycho-sexual, psychological and social consequences of FGM.
~~~Justifications of FGM~~~
The roots of FGM are complex and numerous; indeed, it has not been exactly possible to determine when or where the tradition of FGM originated. The justifications given for the practise are multiple and reflect the ideological and historical situation of the societies in which it has developed. Reasons cited generally relate to tradition, power inequalities and the ensuing compliance of women to the dictates of their communities.
Reasons include:
1. Custom and tradition.
2. Religion; in the mistaken belief that it is a religious requirement.
3. Preservation of virginity/chastity.
4. Social acceptance, especially for marriage.
5. Hygiene and cleanliness.
6. Increasing sexual pleasure for the male .
7. Family honour.
8. A sense of belonging to the group and conversely the fear of social exclusion.
9. Enhancing fertility.
10. A social weapon of war.SOURCE: http://www.forwarduk.org.uk/key-issues/fgm
