| Summary: | Far out in the African bush a 4000-year-old ritual takes place. Often in non-sterile conditions, using the simplest tools of broken glass or razors, and without anaesthetic, young girls have their genitals cut off and sewn up. Female circumcision is practised in about 30 African countries. Somalian singer Hibo, circumcised as a child, sings about the pain of African women and through their words we hear how their lives have been affected by their grandmothers' choices. |
