If anyone is not aware what FGM, is, it's when a girl around the age of 4-5 years old is being circumsized so that when she is older, she does not enjoy sex. She will have one husband, and not go around having sex with whomever she pleases, all because her mother was foolish enough to put her through the pain of getting circumsized, which is completely unorthodox. This happens in many parts of Africa, where mothers compel their daughters to lay down, spread their legs, and go through all the pain, forced down by the hands of their own mothers. It's extremely horrible and I'm sure nobody would ever like to go through that.
