What we don't know can hurt someone,
By Lori Fox-Rigney (Vacaville, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Cutting the Rose: Female Genital Mutilation: The Practice & Its Prevention (Minority Rights Publications) (Paperback)
After reading several books on Female Genital Mutilation, I have discovered that most people I've talked with about FGM know little if anything about the practice. According to the statistics in Cutting the Rose, 6,000 young girls are mutilated each day! FGM has been reported in 28 countries in Africa, several countries in the Middle East and Europe, Latin American, Malaysia, Indonesia, and the United States. Whether directly or indirectly, FGM affects all of us. Efau Dorkenoo has compiled a practical, compassionate, informative book that describes the practice of FGM and advocates realistic solutions for its prevention. She says, "Rather than righteous indignation, what is urgently needed is understanding of the problem and the practical support to change it." Everyone should read this book.

VERY DISTRUBINGLY INTERESTING,
By A Customer
This review is from: Cutting the Rose: Female Genital Mutilation: The Practice & Its Prevention (Minority Rights Publications) (Paperback)
Who would have known this was even taking place, even right here in the USA? If you are a woman who enjoys her sexuality, please read this. Something needs to be done.
