Paper Summary:

This is a serious look at the way women are treated in Kenya. The paper goes out to explain the various consequences and types of Female Gentalia Mutilation . It also tries to justify why the practice is still carried out through the eyes of the traditional people. . The author argues that there is a need for strong outreach, education at the grassroots and family life education: that involves the communities and addresses the main reasons to discontinue the practice. This should be done in compromise but not by attacking the practicing few.

From the Paper:

"According to the Kenya demographic Health Survey (KDHS), female circumcision is the partial or complete cutting away of a woman's external genitalia. While the practice is thought to be a cultural tradition in Kenya, KDHS says its origin and underlying cultural rational is not clearly understood. It is commonly referred to as female circumcision mostly to imply that it is similar to male circumcision. However, the degree of cutting is more extreme and often impairs a woman's sexual and reproductive functions. It is because of this that the name female genital mutilation is starring."

well, I have had 8 years of primary education, 4 years of secondary and 3 years of University education. In the first two, I studied under the British system. The three years of University education, I was under the American System. So far this is my final quarter as an undergraduate and I will be starting the masters program next year January in this same institution. I really enjoy doing plenty of research and editing works. My school USIU in an International University situated in Nairobi Kenya. It is a branch of USIU Mexico and USIU SanDiego. My major has been Business Administration with a concentration on management. However, to complete the degree requirement, one has to do quite a number of electives.
