Genital mutilation

25th November, "the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women"; a little bit long title, don't you think? We're not going to talk about this because it is a problem that we are aware of at least or we should have to know. We're going to focus on "Genital mutilation" because not everybody knows about that.

In some less developed countries in Africa, the Midlle East and some others, this practice carry on practicing. It is thouth that origin is in Egypt although it can be a religion tradition such as Islam.

Genital mutilation can be male or female. We're not going to get into details but men can get castration or circuncision and women can get a female genital mutilation. Most of theme are traditions to go through infancy. 

We think that 25th November has to change that name and putting in place "the International Day against the violence" because there is violence everywhere inflicted either men, women, animals,..., and this is unbearable.
