Sorry Grace u don’t have to be biased. Female Genital Mutilation is not an Hausa Muslim practice. It is predominantly an African, Asia and Middle east tradition. It is believed such girls that are not circumcised will be over active sexually.
In 2016 UNICEF estimated that 200 million women living today in 30 countries—27 African countries, Indonesia, Iraqi Kurdistan and Yemen have undergone the procedures.
So read wide before commenting and creating tribal and religious hatred.

WHERE THE HELL did they even get this crazy stupid and barbaric idea from? What on Earth do men want to mutilate in women sexual organ? Is it the clit or what?
It is painful that in this digital age some creatures from the mountains are still operating with Analog mentality. Shame on them all!
Sorry yarinya for the pains.
