Hello Everybody
Social constructions that surround FGM in Somalia are extremely diverse in their application to the practice. One such social construction is the beliefs and ideals of Somali society, that the practice promotes good hygiene and good health, it helps make a woman fertile, and even some people believe that if a baby touches a woman’s clitoris during birth that it will die. Sounds absurd I know, but these are just a few of the reasons why it is promoted, and still widely practiced in Somalia.
