The African couple in Dublin, who will remain unnamed to protect the identity of the 21-month-old, pleaded not guilty to procuring female genital mutilation, claiming in the trial that their daughter had suffered the injury as a result of falling onto a toy while not wearing a diaper.Sounds like Ireland is taking a stand.
And then, there's this tragedy.
But where is Canada's Prime Minstrel on FGM?
He's putting all his energy into protecting some other genitals...
FGM was added to Canada's Criminal Code in 1997 under Section 268 in the form of “aggravated assault.” And yet — there has never been a criminal prosecution on female genital mutilation in Canada.**********
LAST WORD: Think it doesn't happen here?
"In the undated ‘Muslims in Calgary’ article entitled Female Circumcision in Islam, author Asiff Hussein claims both that FGM is 'an Islamic practice' and that it 'brings untold benefits to women'.”You know... like killing "excessive sexual arousal."
