Female Circumcision.

Not quite like Male Circumcision.

Millions of girls bleed to death or die of terrible infections because of dodgy procedures without proper medical attention.

Those who survive cannot have sexual intercourse ever again with horrendous bleeding. And have to be sewn up every time they give birth and are constantly at risk of infection.

Done with out anaesthesia, the survivors are scarred psychologically for life.

Even Supermodels aren't spared from such senseless traditions that is still happening today in many African and/or Muslim countries.

Awareness of such outdated and cruel practices is still lacking despite high profile campaigning from the likes of Katoucha and Waris.
