Female genital mutilation Female Genital Mutilation Among a great number of issues which torment any kind of rational human being because of its harness and brutality in current society, we find the female genital mutilation, which is not an isolated problem, but a widespread one extended over a lot of African countries. It is therefore our moral obligation to focus part of our attention on this fact to find out where the proper solution might lie. First of all, a great understanding of the reasons why this may happen is needed. Above all, traditions seem to be the most obvious factor, being supported by both men and women. For most of them, this aberration looks quite natural as they have been growing up in contact with the same ideas and beliefs. It is, however, important to point out that they are not evil in the same way that occidental murderers or rapists could be. It is a matter of education, which can make people believe whatever as it is the root of our human development. Consequently, as a first step, we have to change their minds by creating schools where children should be taught to respect themselves. As a second step, the governments of every country where this practice is still present should take part in justice by imposing harsh but necessary punishments. Jails are to be full with diehard defenders that may give their lives to make sure that the tradition will never change. Nonetheless, since we want these apparently abhorrent people be entirely different, all kinds of psychologist methods coming from the most remarkable universities are to be applied in these jails, provided that no human right is jeopardized. Rather than that, they would happily embrace new ideas through contact with psychologists, some years of restructuring and humanity in a suitable environment. All things considered, though these steps might be regarded as rather radical solutions, they are entirely necessary if we want to keep a safe planet for our daughters and sons. May I conclude by adding my most sorrowful tears coming from my inner soul to sympathize with all women that have been dealing with this. May peace remain inside their hearts from now on.
