What is it like after female circumcision?

; ? In the wild African region, there are still many bad habits, "African circumcision" is one of them, which is an extremely cruel rite of passage. So, what does African circumcision mean?

Now female circumcision has been abolished, but male circumcision is still showing signs of resurgence in some areas.

African circumcision: a ritual of genital mutilation

Most African men shudder at the mention of circumcision. "Circumcision" is considered as a symbol of masculinity of boys and girls, but it does great harm to both men and women. With the help of the World Health Organization, this rite of passage is gradually being abolished in Africa.

So, what exactly does African circumcision mean? It refers to the ritual of male circumcision and female circumcision. It has a history of more than 4000 years in Africa. The custom of male circumcision still exists today, and female circumcision is gradually abolished.

Cruel female circumcision

The "circumcision" for African men is relatively simple, just cut off the foreskin with a knife, but the circumcision for women is relatively complicated and more cruel.

Female circumcision is divided into four categories. The first category is to remove only part of the clitoris or clitoris, the second category is to remove or partially remove the labia minora and clitoris, and the third category is to remove part or all of the labia majora, and then puncture and suture the labia minora, leaving only a small hole to urinate.

The last one is to hurt women's clitoris and labia by pricking, stabbing and cauterizing, which is the most cruel and inhuman way of circumcision and does the most harm to women.

Circumcision without anesthesia

When performing the "African circumcision" ceremony, it is mostly performed by witch doctors, midwives or relatives and friends, often without anesthetic, and the cutting and suturing tools are relatively simple, and the hygiene and safety are completely substandard.

Women who have been circumcised have to bear great pain and often bleed heavily. Gum or plant ash is commonly used locally to stop bleeding. Many girls have tetanus, anuria, vaginal ulceration and so on. After circumcision, some even leave a lifelong disability.

"Circumcision" in public places

According to the understanding of normal people, the extremely private activity of "African circumcision" should be heard by only a few people, but this is not the case. In order to show that family members attach importance to "circumcision", it is often the father, brother, neighbor, etc. when performing "circumcision". Girls who receive gifts will be invited to attend.

In addition, the circumcision of suture vagina has the greatest influence on girls. Not only is it extremely painful to receive gifts, but it is also required to open the yin after marriage. It can be said that it is extremely painful to have a cutting operation when giving birth. I don't know when this "African circumcision" will be completely abolished!
