In her experience, circumcised women undergo difficult births compared to the uncircumcised ones whose vaginal capacity to dilate during labour is not hindered. As such uncircumcised women do not suffer much pain in child delivery compared to other women. Cultural education and observance of freedoms and rights of the child can play a significant part in changing attitudes on the traditional female circumcision per se. Other testimonies show that female circumcision leads to a lot of physical and psychological pains, heavy blood loss and other reproductive complications that sometimes lead to death. It is also performed in a hurry so that all the girls on the parade are circumcised quickly.
Female circumcision is clearly a human rights issue.
The whole act apart from presenting physical torture on the girls violates their privacy and endangers their health. The custom is a form of violence against women that has not been given corresponding legal attention locally. However, while no cases of forced circumcision have been recorded with the local administration, although the cases widely occur, such a situation would amount to inflicting a grievous harm on the person, an offence punishable by law in Kenya under the penal code. Female circumcision is also blamed for occasioning an array of other socio-economic development inhibitions in the area. A circumcised girl has a false cover of ascendance to adulthood.
