Call on the Government of Somalia to commit to ending FGM by passing law prohibiting the practice

Mogadishu, 6 February 2021 – Somalia has one of the highest rates of female genital mutilation (FGM) in the world. According to the latest Somali Health and Demographic Survey, 99 per cent of women between the ages of 15 and 49 have been subjected to this extremely harmful and unacceptable practice.

Somali women have suffered heavily in the last 30 years:

1. Widespread Rape in the name of tribalism.

2. Child marriage due to heavy poverty.

3. Growing misogynist views held by the Somali populace.

It must end and it will through education, awareness and hopefully strong laws. It’s so sad many of the victims of FGM died during childbirth. May Allah reward them with jennah and us with proper knowledge to stop this practice.

When are we going to talk about how practices like FGM is vastly enforced by older women?

I've seen a lot of cases where the father will be against FGM, but when he's away the older female relatives will do it anyway.

I wonder why, you would think they would be more sympathetic.
