In Nigeria this practice is done in adherence to a cultural belief that the uncircumcised woman Is promiscuous, unclean, unmarriageable, physically undesirable and of potential risk to themselves and to their children as there is a traditional belief that if a male child’s head touches the clitoris he will die.

OR are we going to wake up from our slumber and begin to rescript our lives so that on the long run we will be the change that we have been hoping to see.
