Nariman El-Mofty Umm Malek and Malek – Qalanfil, Delta of Egypt Umm Malek lives in a small muslim village in the Delta of Egypt. She got circumcised at 10 years old and remains profoundly scared by the trauma of that day. « You can easily forget what you’ve eaten on that day, or how the weather was. But you can’t forget the trauma, the pain… » Malek is now fully conscient of the long term consequences of such practice on her mental health as well as in her married woman’s intimate life. « What we tend to ignore is that many divorces happen because of that barbarian practice. Women and men come become unsatisfied, it leads to a lot of frustration and anger. ». After giving birth to a daughter, she started attending awareness sessions lead by a local NGO in a nearby village. The consequences she was facing herself combined to these sessions convinced her for good that she couldn’t perpetrate that practice on her daughter. « I simply couldn’t inflict such misery to my own daughter. I want her to be happily married. » At first, women of her village pressured her to circumcise Malek, threatening that she would never get her daughter married if she didn’t. « But I took these women to the awareness sessions with me, and since then, five of them decided to not cut their daughters ! » Chloe Sharrock Untitled Monia Lippi Untitled Monia Lippi Untitled Monia Lippi Untitled Monia Lippi Untitled Monia Lippi Untitled Monia Lippi Untitled Monia Lippi Untitled Monia Lippi Untitled Monia Lippi Untitled Monia Lippi Untitled Mohamed Ali Eddin Untitled Mohamed Ali Eddin Untitled Sabry Khaled Untitled Sabry Khaled Untitled Sabry Khaled Untitled Monia Lippi Untitled Monia Lippi Untitled Monia Lippi Untitled Monia Lippi Untitled Monia Lippi Untitled Monia Lippi Untitled Monia Lippi Untitled Monia Lippi Untitled Monia Lippi Untitled Monia Lippi Untitled Monia Lippi Untitled Monia Lippi Untitled Monia Lippi Untitled Monia Lippi Untitled Monia Lippi Untitled Monia Lippi Untitled Monia Lippi Untitled Monia Lippi Untitled Monia Lippi Untitled Monia Lippi Untitled Monia Lippi Browse All Browse by Tag Search Items Browse Map of 5 Sort by: TitleCreatorDate Added Output Formats atom, dcmes-xml, json, omeka-xml, rss2
