Nalijah FGM female genital multilation is a criminal offence in this country. please check out the web site or google the above. Although it is a cultural barbaric form of circumcise has any one seen a woman who has had this procedure done. I certainly have, And these women suffer They are left basically with nothing but a 'pea sized' hole which has been crudely sutured to such a size. which makes it difficult for child birth if they are lucky enough not to be in a third world country they are always section surgically because they are to small to naturally give birth!!! ![]() It is not uncommon for the women if in a third world country tear beyond your wildest imagination leaving a gross disfigured vagina which could leave them incontinent unable to walk normally or in some extreme cases they might even die given birth ![]() their periods lasts for weeks unlike the norm 3-5 days as the entrance to the vagina is so small it just trickles out at a slow rate often or not causing pelvic inflammatory disease and other gynaecological problems could you imagine having your labia clitoris removed ![]() I'm not sure in which states but i know it is common amongst the Somalian culture. I however DO NOT support this act and urge individuals to be sensitive when posting replies a lot of women have died as a result of this practice. Some women who have suffered this practice might be reading this thread. ![]() I can't comment on tribal marks. www.who.int/mediacentre/factsheets/fs241/en/ - 22k |

Both are actually very rare, but some tribes still practice them. Cruelty. |

seun I beg to differ I can assure you we come across FGM sadly on average 2-3 incidences a month predominately amongst the Somalians. It has grown to such an extend study days and seminars are being held to bring awareness to appropriate individuals caring for these unfortunate women ![]() |

Oops, I meant in Nigeria. It's not common in Nigeria. |
Re: Tribal Marks And Female Circumcision by britgirlee(f): 9:46am On Nov 24, 2007 |
Just a query is it common up in the north amougst the Hausa tribe? |
Re: Tribal Marks And Female Circumcision by Seun(m): 10:58am On Nov 24, 2007 |
I think FC is common in some specific tribes in the South-East. I don't think northerners do that; it's not in the Quran. |
