Eritria & FGC
In Eritrea, the government has passed a law making Female Genital Cutting illegal. For those of you playing the home game, Female Genital Cutting, according to Wikipedia is:
refers to the excision or tissue removal of any part of the female genitalia for cultural, religious or other non-medical reasons. It is also frequently referred to as female genital mutilation (FGM) or female circumcision (FC).All persons who perform, provide tools for, requests the procedure, or anyone who does not report an incident of FGM will be jailed. Because FGM is such a deep-rooted culture, it will be difficult to completely stop the practice, but hopefully it will slow down. This from Ms. Magazine.
