THE BARBARIC RITUAL CONTINUES
One of the most shocking and disturbing details about this barbaric violence towards young girls is that most of the adamant advocates are their elder women--a defeated generation who may internalize a strong sense of resentment for the new generations of girls who could by Egyptian law now have a chance to escape the mutilation. It's a heinous cycle of abuse: the year is 2009 and supposed doctors are mutilating young girls for the sake of tradition (upholding myths) in today's supposed information age.
