Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. [KavkazUzel] The documentary film "This is happening with us" about female genital mutilation in the North Caucasus has received the right to rent, the premiere of the film is scheduled in Moscow. It is not customary to discuss the practice of female circumcision in the Caucasus, but while working on the film, the Muftiate of Dagestan issued a fatwa about the inadmissibility of such operations, the co-authors of the film said. As the "Caucasian Knot" wrote , the problem of female circumcision in the North Caucasus is most acute in Dagestan, where, according to the "Legal Initiative", at least 1,240 girls annually become victims of such operations. Criminal punishment will not eradicate the problem until a general legal background is formed that will allow women to feel safe, the authors of the FGM project for Afisha Daily said. |

#1 Criminal punishment will not eradicate the problem until a general legal background is formed that will allow women to feel safe So they've been sexually mutilating girls for 2000+ years as a population control measure and can't come up with a legislative framework to address the act? Girls are less responsive and reactive so there are fewer pregnancies, but then the rapes go up and it to becomes a cultural practice, which increases the population. I hate |
