Angela Merkel

Hi all,
Our group, Angela Merkel, is focusing on FGM, Female Genital Mutilation specifically in Somalia. Our goals are to work together to bring awareness about FGM and the social constructs that follow such as the institution of marriage and religious beliefs behind the practice. We also want to bring to light the physical and psychological effects that FGM has on women and the lives they lead. We also want to look at anti-FGM groups and organizations and the groups that are educating women on FGM and the right to choose. Our comparative element is male circumcision.
