Baby dies from circumcision in Italy

[Louisabell]

I learnt about this issue when I listened to an interview with an affected man. They took too much skin and now he experiences tremendous pain every time he has an erection. Pretty much made it impossible to have sex. Incredibly, even with being an adult, he still hadn't told his parents what their choice did to him. I felt a lot of sympathy for him. He appeared to live in a society who cared little about his plight, and just wanted to turn a blind eye. I hope more people come to realise the dangers associated with this practise.

Just putting it out there about FGM, there are many different types/ degrees of severity. Some are similar to circumcision, while others are extremely horrific, leading to a very high mortality rate (if not immediately after then from infection or in childbirth). So it's hard to compare the two.
