This is plain truth. And what you don't know is after FGM the girl is married off to the suitor. We are fighting against all this . I believe one day all this will be history inshaallah.

Engaged at birth! Child mother at 12! That is the situation. We need to change the narrative and encourage positive media coverage, strengthen child protection system at the community. It needs concerted efforts of partners! I have witnessed and rescued girls.

Even in the greatest cultures, it’s not all traditions that have to be perpetuated. The best cultures don’t remain unchanged, they change on some points with the time and with their world.

#LeaveTheGirlChildAlone what about the boys? Are they also given out like that? -
Smart question... But She's been given to a boy right? That seals both their faith.

I'm not sure she's given to a boy but rather a man,
@BBCAfrica can tell us more

I don't really like it but then our 'western way' often doesn't work that well so who's to say. Girls are not a possession though and neither boys for that matter.

As long as they're OK with it? Their life is very different from ours.

Oh, yeah, I’m sure those day-old babies gave full and informed consent.

I'm sure it's like this for awhile since it's a tradition. They like it this way, the lady says. It's their business to keep or change.

Tradition does not excuse misogyny.

I don't see that here.

The boys are engaged, too. So they both have 2 families. It's their way protecting them.
