Female Genital Mutilation

    Last year, I had an opportunity to visit Kajiado district. It was the end of the year and many ceremonies were taking place.
    The maasai people are one of the community which believes in female circumcision. Even after the government burning female genital mutilation, the community members still practise it. When I had become friendly with some of the community members, I had to ask them why they still practise the female genital mutilation, and I found that it was a tradition, and it shows a girls maturity.
    Even after trying to talk to them about the effects of female genital mutilation, their believe remained to be still the same.
