Women and girls, aged 15-49, who have undergone some form of FGM
Marthe Bleu is 12 years old, a shy, pretty girl with a heart-shaped face, dressed in flip-flops and a lacy white pinafore trimmed in pink satin. But already her body is taking on the soft, rounded shape of womanhood. And these days she wants more than anything to do what she believes stands between her and being grown up. She wants to have her genitals cut off. In the lament of pubescent girls everywhere, she says that all her friends are getting ahead of her. Their parents have sent them into the woods where village women ''cut what is down there,'' she said, gesturing to her lap. After the rite, the girls are showered with gifts of money, jewelry and cloth.
Introduction
But this rite of passage procedure is all too familiar for many women living in the U. The practice of cutting encompasses all procedures involving partial or total removal of the external female genitalia or other injury to the female genital organs for non-medical reasons, according to the World Health Organization. In some countries, many of these girls will have their clitoris completely removed to deny them sexual pleasure. And at its most severe, some of them will have their vaginas sewn shut to preserve their virginity. For resources on female genital cutting, go to ABCNews. Mary had the most radical form of cutting performed on her in her home country. Her clitoris was removed and her vagina was stitched together. Another young woman, anonymously identified as Amy, told ABC News that if her parents found out she was speaking out about female genital cutting they would "literally" kill her.
