Millions of women around the world today are being mutilated against their will. Many are only infants and do not survive the process due to infections and blood loss. This process of dehumanizing someone goes beyond what we as people have seen before. There are now laws that protect us from being mutilated but in some countries around the world there is no laws to protect those who do not live in the United States are some other place against mutilation. Imagine having your legs tied together for two weeks or longer so that you will not pull out any of your stitches. Try to picture bleeding for days and being in pain for your entire life unable to speak about such thing so that you will not bring shame upon your family. That’s what life is like for the women and children who undergo genital mutilation.
