Ging mir genauso, als "MGC survivor".“I began to seriously question the practice when I understood the purpose behind it and the possible implications on one’s sexual life,”
iterates Aarefa Johari, a journalist and a FGC survivor.
Kommt mir auch bekannt vor...außer dass ich nicht bei Bewusstsein war.However, regardless of how mild or grave the physical pain is, one cannot ignore the unspeakable psychological trauma a woman is subjected to once she undergoes the practice. A child taken to a strange place under false pretexts, partially stripped and inflicted with excruciating pain in one of the most private and sensitive part of her body with no rational justification given whatsoever, is not something one nonchalantly writes in a journal, places it in an old trunk and forgets.
An incident like this is bound to resurface every now and then; on one’s first sexual experience, sexual intimacy and so on.
“The trauma of being violated in childhood leaves psychological scars that scares them from getting sexually intimate in adult life,” avers
Aarefa. Moreover, the whole idea of a child being made to undergo the process usually at ages roughly 7-9 (in girls) and infancy (in boys) when he/she is not adult enough to decipher and give consent to it
renders the practice clearly violative and inimical — a reason why Aarefa discourages circumcision in males too.
