Womankind

I was reading today about a charity called Womankind Worldwide, which works for women in the UK but also in the developing countries. A lot of the work they do is giving support and legal advice to women who speak out against female circumcision. This is a particularly brutal form of genital mutilation and some horrendous outcomes for many of the girls concerned. Girls as young as 12 are abducted and raped and forced to marry to save the honour of their families. Many are forced to endure anal sex because they are unable to have intercourse in the normal way, because of their treatment. These women are bravely speaking out against their treatment, against accepted norms and need help and support so why not log onto their site and see if you can help them in any way - www.womankind.org.uk
