I was circumcired maybe tweenty years ago. Since that day, I was never the same. I am against female circumcision 100%. I have been against it since it was performed on me. I was told never to talk about it, or I would died. I wanted to died, because of the pain that I was going through. I could not handle it. 95% liberians are stil very much supporting the circumcision. My families are 100% infavor of the practic. They all hate me including my Mom and Dad.I have four children. Two girls,and two boys. I tried secretly waraning people about the practic which almust cost me my life. Five of My father's children died during the practiced. I manage to excapt with my daugters to Canada. They called me sinner, and I am no longer part a of the family. The picture of the little girl on her mother back reminded me of my time when my mother tooked me in. She also carried me on her back. She told me that I was going to be a real woman. The next thing I saw was group of women standing over me doing there job.Do you know something? I am not a real woman, I am a half woman with out any sexual feelings. Right after the circumcision I got married, and started having children of my own. I promisede myself and my kids that they will never go through such.Until today, I have not recovered from what happenend. I have no regreets. My kids are saved and by the grace of God, some day I will help save many others that can not save theirsalves. It is wrong for them to take away what God have given us. You are doin a good job. God bless you. Thanks, Bendu I am a Liberian, and I’m presndly living in Canada. I was circumcired maybe tweenty years ago. Since that day, I was never the same.
