In some African countries, female circumcision is a widely practiced tradition. But as more attention is shone on the practice, also known as female genital mutilation, it's come with other consequences. An African reporter has gone into hiding after her report on the practice in Liberia was published.

Never forget that there are far more male victims of genital mutilation than female. Both are wrong.

Genital integrity is a human right, not merely a female right.

It is absolutely shameful that in this 21st century, Liberians still practice canibalism in the name of circumsition. Its time for them t wake up unless they use the portions cut off for rituals.
