Lord, today we rejoice that the Somali government is
taking a stern step toward eliminating female genital mutilation (FGM) within
its nation by prosecuting its first-ever FGM case. Lord, we know cultures are
worth preserving. We know it is vital to respect people’s religious beliefs.
But we also know that FGM is the brutal maiming of young girls, and that it is
actually life-threatening, as evidenced by the tragic death of 10-year-old Deeqa Dahir Nuur last week. We are thankful
that Somalia's deputy prime minister Mahdi Mohamed Guuled was bold
enough to declare that FGM is not a part of the nation’s religion and that it
will soon be eliminated from the nation’s culture. We pray that other political,
religious and community leaders will courageously speak out against this
practice. We pray against the social pressure for parents to force their
children into this torture. We pray for eyes to be opened to the brutality and senselessness
of this practice. We do pray for this legal action, that it would ultimately
lead to the creation of laws against FGM in Somalia. In Jesus’ name we pray,
amen.
Update: http://time.com/5396125/somalia-female-genital-mutilation-death/ Somali girls are still dying from FGM, even though it has been outlawed in their nation.

ReplyDeleteThe reasons are many but usually revolve around a negative stigma attached to the litigation finance industry with regard to price AND the idea that counseling clients with regard to financial transactions is usually outside the scope of representation originally agreed upon by the attorney and client.Business lawyer in Toronto
