F.G.M IS A CRIME

Daughter: I want to go to school; I have the right to education. To get educated on writing and reading

Mum: why go to school? You are a girl child Stay at home play and know how to cook. Daughter: I want to
learn science, maths and history To pass and fulfil my goals

Mum: it’s for the respect of our forefathers. Circumcision is for all. If you refuse you will not get a
husband

Daughter: F.G.M is a crime, the law is against it It’s the past culture, it has no meaning today.

Mum: it’s bad to neglect our culture, we have grown with them. He who has to Study is only a boy

Daughter: we all have equal rights girl, boy There is nothing to discriminate it’s not the right thing to do

Mum: it’s true my daughter now I understand that a girl need education not Circumcision

Daughter: its good mum our generation need girls as leaders of tomorrow
