Female Genital Mutilation

In June 2009 I chepket had attaine the age of 15 yrs and do you know what that  meant I was to be circumsed to become a real woman  in my community  in Turkana district. As usually we had to go through so much intition  we had to have our bodies cut and saed with thorns only a small space was to be left for urination
 Having heard of the consequences like not being able to give birth normaly  I was frightened and thought of what to do before the day come. Lucky  enough for me i ran to the chief's  camp not far away from my home and having explained to my chief what was to happen  i was given great support by the chief and and organisation called (FFGMK) fight  female Genital mutilation friends who had to face the knife.
Now am in form two and really look forward to the day my community will completely do away with this culture as it is huting us
