Female Circumcision now banned in Uganda!

It’s good to celebrate these victories – wow!

Uganda has made female circumcision illegal – I wonder how many other countries there are where it is still legal?

And I know this won’t necessarily stop the practice – but it sends a message that it is UNACCEPTABLE! And over time, hopefully the practice will die out completely.

Maybe a 10 year jail sentence (and a life sentence if the woman in question dies) will be enough to make people think before they act…
