FW: Female circumcision

It is not legal here so no one admits to doing it. Other say it is performed on 100% of girls between 7-14.

The women I spoke with demonstrated how it is/was done, using  a doll, the old tools-a knife, herbs a stone and some water.  They sang songs, lyrics to one went, ”The blade is very painful. Don’t make noise.”
