Sometimes at conferences and debates on FGM where I participate, I share my view that today's female circumcision is still practiced by purely economic issues , many people do not just believe, claiming that the reasons are religious or cultural.
In my opinion, after carefully assessing the situation from that collaborate in the fight against this practice and I was able to gather information: today this is not true. culture and religion excuses are that the girls put forward to defend their jobs and therefore their livelihood, and even if they know what they are doing is a grave violation of human rights continue to defend this practice as billed.
was recently presented the documentary Africa Rising, ttp: / / www.rtve.es/alacarta/videos/television/documental-producido-por-equality-now-africa-rising/686801/, a documentary Paula Heredia collecting the work of the organizations fighting FGM in countries such as Mali, Kenya, Niger, Somalia and Tanzania. The documentary is produced by Equality Now, an international benchmark in the fight for the rights of women and violence and gender discrimination.
After watching closely I am pleased to hear themselves recognize practitioners who practice only because they need to make a living , but ask God to forgive them for what they do ( min. 13.25 the documentary). Know what the true motivation of women "mutilating" allows you to find solutions in the right direction, which are none other than helping them find other jobs that allow them to survive without these barbaric practices continue ( min. 23.45 documentary)
remains to be done, but finally recognize which is the true cause by perpetuating this terrible barbarism is a big step.
