three am belgian. it was while making a web documentary fog of the you know about female genital mutilation that i realize how deeply rooted it is in many cultures including my own. i have family and friends who have been through it but it's not something you talk about. as a child i attended a close relatives gathering after she was caught. it was then that i wondered have i been copped. to my relief my mother told me that she chose not to. when i think about the severe health risks involved in f g m a contact but wonder. why does this practice continue in so many countries. and what would it take for to start with. and how do some manage to change our own health attitudes towards

cutting while still preserving their own culture. you know and then there are more personal questions like whether my mother has been cut. i've never asked or. i'm determined to find out more about the different treasons why f.p.m. continues and to understand better what's needed to end it. i've come to somaliland because together with the rest of somalia it has the highest. female genital mutilation in the world. is banned in most countries but here it's still legal.

in somaliland children mostly caught between the ages of six and eight. but. after come to the afghans of our geisha the capital to meet a traditional cutter. has been cutting girls for over forty years around twenty five a day a tap peak. how many girls have you got what you look about and what type of cuts have you performed on the girls and i couldn't follow why entire leg a little yeah. yeah and this italy good new chorus. done by the time i. subbed the hell out so would you for. now q so know why entire this week.

so little of say hey yeah i will also tell you. no rush owes me the most common cotton somaliland the chorus the most severe for only one what do you this for oh how is my rock a shelf and. so i put it in the closet. because. you don't you the knife my. ass so i am. telling you how the war on his i don't know. what i want. just friends. and so had i. so had i can you show me how do you determine. how big the hole should be that you leave.

this is how big the opening is only this part. and you're supposed to urinate from this when you're a teenager mr asian go through this whole. over ninety percent of girls in somaliland are cut by traditional cutters. unlike most have no medical training. most girls and women here have had the for only god and i want to know the consequences. i'm a bit a senior midwife at the local hospital. thank you very much she was born in somalia and with move to freedom as a result of the civil war. ninety ninety nine. this side is to come back to move something for most people because i most needed here how have you been

involved in the fight against. cases which we help those who have fibro fibro to say too much. which is which form is the collected blood. the blood if the space is very small the ministership cannot go out or if the mantle in the ghetto gets diminished station there will be something left in the uterus this will form. this becomes bigger people who see this she has. a baby in her stomach so the doctor takes out this and the girl will be ok. i have help from the megan maternity hospital in arkansas. and. i want to live it was priceless we're going to see her stand. two days a week and of counselors carry out educational outreach work in the community.

or have a love affair out of the little boy. or from the. car . then we were you given i. believe that there's a lot of my in my life my money. there how how do you know you're mature and i mean. that's what i really actually got. what i was. wants to discuss her house worries with the counselors. she's eighteen and pregnant with her first child. she's had to for i want to cut.

my. they're not. going to. know what's going to. come.

from. over the. so why do you think somaliland have the highest percentage when it comes to f e m

globally it takes time to leave the culture grandmother does and mother is they still all on with the suturing and if g.m. is special the grandmothers are very very close are they are there they will look leave it there was a lady who had three girls she came to me at the hospital i told her go back to the home and see i did the operation she is very killer for describing mother when the guests are going to authorities she goes after them she listen is the most of their . oh because when that girl is circumcised there's no most with their with how do you want it because it is like a drop is going to be all she cried she said all my daughter the get sad all you need to like a boy's what you did you did nothing do you think that eventually

people will abandon this eventually but didn't take time. as i watch these young people at a wedding reception i wonder how many of the men would be willing to marry an uncut woman in the future. for saying a local journalist post as an afghan message on social media i was curious to know why i did the facebook update of where you said some men believe after g.m. deduces a woman's sexual desire they say this increases her appeal what made you write this i want to talk because it's a problem for us. to second is to down play it off the goddess

a human in our midwest when you would get my do you want to my family have cut their own cut and cut ok are you married know you want to be someone who is cut or non-corrupt. who you really. should target some of. the other kind of. my heart in live and grow your own little hospital and. it's all that i in a lot of time which. i am a woman. i come from a culture that also practices that i'm not the cup. i you know other woman based on what other women have told me that if there is no there is no good in it if they tell you this is hurting us this is literally killing us and we need to stop would you then listen. to the committee.

heard. the dog whistle. i'm surprised that a young man should feel so strongly about holding on to this tradition when so harmful. if ever g.m. is to end changing men's attitudes will be essential. to have not done university hospital collects detailed information on trends in female cutting. medicare says two thousand and two all antenatal patients are asked what kind of cuts have had and if they intend to cut their daughters. you know.

this is rare to see a woman who is. in two thousand and two ninety seven percent of female patient had undergone the pharaonic out. most intended the thing for their daughters. but that has changed there's an improvement in the tire. and the return to the other having entire one turn to which they calls. it a risk getting cut. so. there's a little tip but tied to a dick and a half of the troops we know or cuts doesn't have any benefits. i just. want to try and. introduces me to a friend who's at the hospital on a postnatal liver birth order days ago so there are

interesting verse of the circle stuff. of the midwife and know the harmful effects of for only cutting from passing experience. something else. at that time. so if you. really want to you're in it i can't. quite. remember that if secondly you are a coward why do you talk. the first of all the way i feel in sixteen years. the minister should secondly. i feel. bad you don't get to see this problem this is this there's some cycle communication i feel when i feel and talk on the question when i'm never going. to go for the cut and never fuck that to me he. said if it.

did you feel any resentment towards your mother and your grandmother yeah but remember she voted no question. as i'm leaving somalia i feel privileged to have met a woman who share the stories with me. but i'm overcome with emotion as i realize virtually every women here have been caught. and what it actually means. i've always known about the numbers and the facts and the figures but when you come face to face to all women who've gone through it it seems like the women who have to endorse this and the children were after indoors as you go through cycles of pain.

for what. has happened to so many women and girls like my mom. i'm so happy that. i don't know why should they didn't come. that i'm so grateful. because my life would have been so much different because to feel good. over the go through the pain. to go through that and then not to be able to do something that that's a that's a god given thing to peek. you can't. and then you promise to ration and then when you have to have sex you don't enjoy it and it's like painful . and then you have to give birth and then it just continues. i'm so grateful that. i didn't go through that and when i meet. this woman who had to go through it.

i've come to kenya to find out more about a totally different culture. that over forty tribes here with diverse cultures and traditions. the majority don't practice the cuts are torn. but several including the masai cutting have been a centuries old tradition until recently. today meeting twenty eight year old nice and getting. myself managed to talk to me rather kate f.e.m. and have village of my young not. traditionally

for the messiah cutting is a rite of passage marking the transition from girlhood to womanhood usually between the ages of mine and fourteen. the ritual involves some most of you. who lost his release because of what i used to see gas even if they're trying to be strong but you can see that deafening a lot of us are leading. this community nice with the only gun in her village who refused to be cut. off my classmates who are from this community all of them up and are going. and they didn't they were not able to go or. they have to find a husband for you. so right now almost all of them have three four five children and a. what's

your name my name is oh what a beautiful name have they been a second thought you know they have been fact i'm saved how do you feel about not being caught. so what would you like to do when you grow up. ok thank you. as a result of nice's determination to end the few him no young girl has been cut here since two thousand and twelve. my thigh and a patriarchal society. and i first have to persuade the young warriors called moran's to help and the practice. recruiting douglas the leader of them runs was a beginning. what did you do nice to make them change their opinion about their adolescence was their first doesn't work cept my while the resistance was there

from all over but then again i had to have a treat because when i go to them i'll go with someone like that glass so i'll make sure that he talks before i talk so what did you do to persuade them around in the community. it was very hard for us to continue the boys because they say that they come not. because even god is not sometimes saved she's not a woman then we need an example of some of the dead that we have seen in the community they said ok it's true and let's forget it i think it took more than five yes i want them just to accept it now we decided to come up with some time until we came up and let the parade go by said if the pentagon from this community and we want them to upgrade because. we bless them then we look at the same cows that we celebrate hold together but we didn't cut so that's what we've come up with.

douglas bring some of his friends or morons to meet me. yeah we mix of might it do more than ok and i might add more than do you know what actually happens when i go is cut you know get along. very nicely and i would literally move it yeah when you're loving anyone i go. i don't know and i'm like yeah. i don't know. that i haven't gone down and i mean you know when you you know we want to let. you know. around a graphic video over to you know go with a knife. you know what i did that.

we were. going to just think how do you. want to live and when they're going to do you have a daughter. how would you feel if someone said she needed to be cut and that we were going. well i think it was one of the powerful tools we've been using. them on the issues of female genital mutilation and there was another persuasive incentive for the young warriors. when we see it as a more as we talk and talk about sex you see most of the mortar rounds out of most of the men they see if they sleep with the gun is very sweet insects now that's what also contains most of them what i have to say we don't need.

meeting them a fire in a minute gives me hope. if one woman can change attitudes in one village perhaps it's time to possible to change entire countries. in india the mining company is heading to australia to build one of the world's biggest mines will it be an economic but no answer or an ecological disaster. at this time when i visit. news is happening faster than ever before from different places from different people and you need to be part of that you need to be able to reach people wherever they are and that means being across all social media platforms this is where our audience lives as well as in front of a t.v. they're on the smartphone they're on the tablet they're on the computer. and that's the way al-jazeera is of all into

fighting a local militia in the castle region more than one point four million people have been displaced by the violence. we're up to date with all of our top stories now much more coming up in about twenty five minutes time when i'll be back with the news hour al-jazeera correspondent now continues. the northwest of kenya is home to a tribe named the pocket of practiced f.g. and for centuries others are to profit. from here to meet them to lodge a son who's devoted her life to ending of g.m. in her home country of west. she is married with two young children. to last twenty eight she's one of the few women of our age in this county who haven't been cut. really and that escape what's happening

i witnessed of the cut that kids are not allowed to witness as a young girl is an eleven year old and this community engine is performing to a status this. which is a slate cut. yeah that's done in public with the presence of men and women and young girls and he young boys and this year yes we see it but they just you know like a slight cut just immediately after the first day that women are taken to and then that are taken to a sacred place like a bush so we sneaked in and what i just saw on the second stage was so shocking my cousin was laying down there in a pool no blood yes and women were pinning her down in her demitra completely you know there's a one of us who really butchering half like you know how you cut pieces of meat. i was expecting it's not to do this just that yeah but she was doing this you know

yes with a knife and she was screaming but us claims were being covered by the women singing and you know the trying to to to cover her screams and she was helpless what was left to their horse just like red flesh yes i still can't believe that this is something that we're still debating about. honestly. it was this dramatic experience that made don't refuse to become a motivated how to set up a charity to help and i feel. we're heading to the village of sandwich with one hundred sixty girls are preparing for an attorney to right of passage ceremony. we just saw me to be there because intelligible to us and to know that they bought into. the trip to sandwich from the hill of house takes two and a half hours through mountain passes on bumpy roads. to school

and the full school. for the wellcome when we get makes it worse or. in the pocket culture cutting traditionally involves a celebration in which the whole community takes part. the girls are to have sing their dances for the alternatives harmony. is real life come in it was beautiful i don't expect to see this difficult committed love and seeing and searing we want people to know that we love our culture we know we love every bit of it only but from the cut yes this is where the feel there is certainly nothing for and here. the teachers are from the same community. the girls receive four days of lessons before their graduation day.

today they're learning exactly what have jam involved and the health complications using models. about the madonna no no no no no no no no. knowledge there were that you were. going to deliver someone to become us to. you know when you're a good. doesn't look good. when you have been caught you put into seclusion for one month whereby your thought how to become a good ways how to treat your husband how to cook so we do the opposite we bring the girls in here we teach them like their children's rights work you know it is them about health implications of their so it's basically same like same thing without the car to but

a different teaching because they want these girls to be important people in the society rather than at my there they don't feel i'm her colleagues have had to work hard to change the attitudes of parents. in the pocket community a cut girl can bring significant economic advantages to a poor family. a girl is made of a man brings dowry into in terms of house and i'll tell you that's it for this community the price is quite high especially the girl is young and cut most people tend to that have stalled and called the brain good number of culls as much as many of articles because of poverty situation they're tending to their girls when they're still young and then they marry them when they get there is quick quick quick quick quick well so how much is the girl worse foreign catgirl you can actually be given away at a ferrari price million years back for they might even give you away for free.

because they just want to get rid of you and you not. have to moore's graduation the girls will sing and dance to some composed by looking musician lucky to. have a pass on the reason for wanting to and. can you think is done. because done clint in the. style of all that no one helped or my me eighteen again i got a number or a leg but i want to know he will gnaw. at the guy. he said to. me. what was the name of your sister clementine clinton. living in.

government and more local moran. illegal in kenya two thousand and one. around here have been largely ineffective. around his village and the villages around. most of them are still being cut i mean we have not been able to reach out to everybody this is a big big big land you know it's a big county. i find out from them to know that one of her younger sisters run away

to be cut with friends. i know them to use but i wonder if the older generation a mother and grandmother supported her sister's decision she takes me to meet them . they want to now. good lord. i never get more. vocal that i need a new. one hugo weaving down you probably know what a little double than at the barn you can now go on a little utility i would call and when you would begin to me one another more and the you know the phone not. what you are looking for the. dollar must.

now i'm going to buy you know i'm going to get really i'm going to it's not for me so she wrote her thing in the forest. so you are against it because of the law but in your time if there was a good. one life here well. what they. want i want you to know the meaning. of the world you know. what i'm gonna do why were you me. the bit that's home a letter that i. got to come i saw. you. meeting them didn't of crime other makes me appreciate why the key to ending

f. jamming with is keeping girls in school. that way pants don't have to rely on a dowry to help support their elders educated girls can pay for their own cows. today the time to write of passes is being held in the market square and. hundreds of people from many different religious have come to with miseducation. for.

that was. a find out that some of the girls have made great sacrifices to be here today. and the many different here doesn't do today. it's just you here no one else from the village. so that means they would become. are you here today. they're not here. to manage them. for any here just along with. let's go and join. with another go who catches my eye the minute soon. even last impression on.

the presence of dignitaries here is a testament to them to the success it means i'll turn to have this type of approval of important. the vast majority of people are christian and the graduation ceremony and with the blessing. patterns and elders stand behind the girls that belong to their villages . yeah. you're there was wonderful and touching to see all the community leaders and the

pattern especially the father standing behind the young girls symbolically it was like saying we have your back we have your back with the boat you and was a forty decision not to be caught it was wonderful to see. just wonderful. i wanted to meet. elissa girl i know to starting a family she ran away from him after her father began beating her mother believing she was a responsible for the futile to be cut. you know get. what you need. not on your.

demeanor and. live in all who don't live. under the. law. at this again i'm. long out with only one side and are going to. so your family have shandor the first away. only to meet the taliban and what do you say to young girls who are about to attend the alternative rite of passage where do you say to them any more you have a dental grilling one eric i don't know merely many look at those. of you with a number on the new community in the crowd was cute i see

a little less because i'm in the generally illegal and near iran again while i'm at home with the novolog signal going to that i did indeed ugh so ideally i thought i did that all i need to be detrimental so what are your hopes and dreams for the future but if you know i'm going to win and i do want to double the energy not the one i'm an overgrown eugen i generally are pretty nimble on this is slow will. cure does your job. probably any school what is. our main course the landmark i am i'm a lan. are you you know some of the beaches. no meeting a lonely night of the morning all of a sudden my non men in their lives and a good reality nandini like arjun and i meghan and i wasn't going on when in an enemy and he was able to rock on the back of that's

a tough question. i think you are very very because i can't imagine giving up you know you live your whole family behind your siblings your father and your mother i don't know what i would have done the clinic younger than altogether let it does he get sick when it that rudy was you would. merely a man you know. what i see when i look at you i feel someone i can see a lot of sadness in your eye but i can also see strength and determination so i believe that one day you'll have your own family one day you have your degree i believe that you will achieve all of dreams so. spending time with them to learn has been an inspiration to me through had resilience and example she's inspired so many others like ellie i'm sure in turn

that element do the same yet. i believe kenya my sorts john to my family in sweden it's time to face my own taboos. yeah. back in stockholm i meet up with my all childhood friend and fellow writer translated with china in china the space we're. actually at home again. neither of us know enough about why the cut is performed in our own culture i'm going to introduce you to some ladies like our parents' generation you know that generation that doesn't talk and i think is going to be interesting because they work with the subject you know let's go.
