Filmbeschreibung
It is estimated that up to 140 million women and girls have undergone some form of Female Genital Mutilation (FGM). FGM should not be viewed as an isolated practice. Its justification is that it is an important initiation which reinforces virginity, chastity, purity, marriageability and fidelity.
This film was shot in five countries:
Burkina Faso, Djibouti, Egypt, Ethiopia and the UK, and highlights the complex social, religious, cultural and economic issues which underpin the ongoing practice of FGM.
