FfFfFfFF 58,060 Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 Sudan looks set to outlaw female genital mutilation (FGM), in a significant move welcomed by campaigners. Anyone found carrying out FGM will face up to three years in prison, according to a document seen by the Guardian. The council of ministers approved the new law on 22 April, but it still needs to be passed by members of the sovereign council, which was created following the ousting of former dictator Omar al-Bashir. Amira Azhary, from the National Council for Child Welfare and a campaigner for the Saleema initiative, which campaigns for an end to the practice, said: “We expect that the law will be passed by the sovereign council and if that happens, it will be an expression of the political will in this country.” https://www.theguardian.com/society/2020/may/01/sudan-to-outlaw-female-genital-mutilation-fgm Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No baby boy should ever be mutilated at birth, it's a choice they should make when they're an adult. We have so many men victims of it and can never undo that change. It IS just as bad, because we're told it's normal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It IS just as bad, because we're told it's normal. Like, I agree it shouldn't be a thing and people should talk about it but the reasons behind it are not as disgusting as female genital mutilation. For starters, circumcised men can still enjoy sex and have fully functioning genitals while women who are mutilated basically have that happen to them to take away the possibility of pleasure from them and, depending on the degree of mutilation, it can seriously **** up their day to day lives. It stems from extreme sexism, while circumcision comes from religion or supposedly hygienic reasons (which are still not valid reasons obviously).

I'm not comparing which is worse , I'm just stating babies shouldn't have their private parts mutilated without consent. We can all agree on that. And it shouldn't be looked at as normal.

Except for a few cases where it's kind of necessary, it shouldn't be done at all Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
