...Female circumcision is also known, more accurately, as female genital mutilation and female genital cutting (FGC.) There are three forms of FGC. The first is a clitoridectomy, the cutting and/or removal of the hood of the clitoris and all or part of the clitoris. The second is an excision which removes the clitoris, the hood, and the labia minor (the inner folds of the vulva that is responsible for producing lubrication.) The infibulation is the third and most radical which also removes everything in the excision along with the labia majora, the outer folds of the vulva. Once removed the sides of the vulva are sewn together leaving a small hole (about pencil size) for the flow of menstruation and urine. The tradition of FGC dates back more...

...any damages that occurred as a result of the crime. The major benefit of this process is that it humanizes the “criminal justice process” as when the offenders are brought in front of the victims, the harm caused by them becomes evident in front of them, leaving no scope to justify or rationalize their heinous act. Furthermore, it is expected that this individual interaction will instill in the offender a sense of compassion for the victim, hence making it more difficult for the offender to replicate his wrong-doings in the future. • Family Group Conferencing (FGC): In this process, along with the primary victim and offender, the victim’s kin, the offender’s family members, and others connected to the offender or victim may also participate in this kind of dialogue session. FGC is often the most apposite method for juvenile cases, due to the significant role of family in any juvenile offenders’ life. Apart from this, FGC plays an important role in planning the prospective care for the victim and also in restoring their normal daily activities. • Sentencing Circle: Such a method aims to recognize the needs of sufferers, secure the contribution of the society, and identify the rehabilitative needs of the offender. Unlike many other restorative initiatives, it is part of and replaces sentencing in the general “criminal” justice system. It involves the engagement of community and the official justice system as allies and to a lesser extent victims and offenders in the resolution of...

...In the second type (excision) both the clitoris and the labia are partially or totally removed. In the third type (infibulation), the vaginal opening is narrowed by sewing or stitching the labia together. The fourth type of FGC is a residual category of sorts, which covers any FGC- type procedure that does not nearly fit in any of the first three categories, and which usually involved any of pricking, piercing, incising, scraping, and cauterizing of the genital area.” (Bellemare,...

...stand against the act. Though she lacks a clear thesis in her introduction, she does take the time to define what exactly female circumcision entails as well as stating “there are three forms of FGC.” Her introduction can serve as a rough start to a road map, but it definitely does not suffice for not having a concrete thesis. In terms of how I would improve her first paragraph, I would definitely incorporate a thesis and define the boundaries for what the paper covers. Peck follows up with an interview conducted by an expert in anthropology concerning a victim of female circumcision. This serves to provide a first-person account of the event being discussed and uses pathos to persuade the reader to feel strongly against the event. Her last sentence serves as a topic sentence and as well as a wrap-up, “...female circumcision is an inhumane...

...are many health risks associated with the procedure and no health advantages, although some still undergo the procedure for cultural and religious reasons. Glover continues by explaining that the slow change in attitudes towards male circumcision in Australia is also likely to occur for female genital mutilation (FGM) around the world. She uses the World Health Organization’s definition of FGM as “all procedures involving partial or total removal of the external female genitalia or other injury to the female genital organs for non-medical reasons” (p 614). Many adult women who have undergone FGM prefer for it to be called female genital cutting or female circumcision (FGC) out of respect for their culture and traditions. The author notes that between 130–140 million women and girls have undergone FGC procedures. These procedures range from minor, such as cutting of the clitoris, to severe, such as joining the labia majora or completely removing the clitoris. Ouch! The article continues with information concerning the health implications of FGM, including haemorrhage, infection and death. Additionally, many women who have undergone FGM experienced Dyspareunia (pain during intercourse), however some reports suggest FGM may not affect sexual function or satisfaction. Because of the health concerns of FGM, the author notes that...

...Fatima Said, of Americas Top Model, defiantly put female genital cutting in the minds of Americans and people around the world. She opened up a topic that many people had no idea about, and now are very interested in knowing more about. This essay will give a brief history of Somalia (Fatima’s home country), and then it will go into female genital cutting in Somalia. Somalia is a country in eastern Africa. The countries of Djibouti, Ethiopia, and Kenya surround it. Somalis are thought to have been decedents from Africans and Arab people. The main languages in Somalia are Arabic, Italian and English. Islam is practiced through out the region. The majorities of Somalis are livestock herders and cultivate the land that they have. (www.cia.gov). Somalia became independent and its own country in 1960, when it got independence from England and Italy. Somalia has not had a stable government between 1991 and 2000. However, during 2000 a parliamentary government was formed but later on expired in 2003. In 2004, a new parliament was organized and a president was elected- Abdullahi Yusuf Ahmed. Since 1991, Somalia has been overwhelmed with chaos and anarchy. Somalia had gone through a difficult time in 1992 when a drought happened in Africa and was combined with a civil war. Somalia went through an intense famine that killed approximately 300,000 people. (www.cia.gov). There were many efforts done by the United Stated and the United Nations to help Somalia get through the drought and...

...Rites of Passage: Female Genitalia Cutting Cultural Anthropology ANT101 Rites of Passage: Female Genitalia Cutting Have you heard of Female Genitalia Cutting or FGC? It is not an unknown practice here in the United States, but laws prevent it from occurring here. In other cultures in other countries Female Genitalia Cutting is being performed to children as young as 5 years old. In Cultures like Maasai in Tanzania and Shendi in Sudan these procedures are being performed on children as young as three. Is this a form of mutilation? Or is it the right thing to do to a child? Growing up in these cultures they are taught that this is the right thing that must be done, to show that they are fertile, to show their fidelity. A tradition that goes back over a hundred years and their “stubbornness” to end tradition keeps this rite of passage going. Female Genitalia Cutting is the cutting of the female external genitalia, there are four forms of female genitalia cutting according to the World Health Organization also known as WHO. Clitoridectomy, excision, infibulation and other which is any harmful procedure done for non-medical reasons such as piercings. All of these procedures are normally done by a person who has no medical training and can cause death or infection to the person it is being practiced on. Clitoridectomy is cutting the clitoris as what the name says, the excision removes the clitoris and labia minora and the most invasive is the infibulation which...

It is something I do not take for granted. Thank you Constitutional Review: Change is so pervasive in our lives that people have concluded that there is nothing as permanent as change itself. So many things in and around us have evolved over time that our existing constitution is overdue for review.

I crave your support to be given your mandate without which my ideas cannot see the light of day. With God and your unflinching backing we shall arrive at our Eldorado. Registration & Account Opening: One of the first things I would strive to achieve is that this association is registered according to all the bylaws of Nigeria as regards to alumni associations. I would also make sure that this association has a functional account in the NAME OF THE ASSOCIATION. Functional Membership Database: I recognize that the worldwide web has changed the thinking and orientation of man, and the way and manner we do things.

...wrongdoing as well as build a sense of community and friendship. Restorative practices can be found in many different sectors of society from family planning to criminal justice and even social work. They may be formal or informal in nature and also help foster community development and conflict management. It pushes the onus from the traditional concept of discipline and punishment onto the concept of reconciliation, dialogue and reparation. It challenges the way society reacts to a problem and also promotes the prevention of these problems in general. It also empowers society to become more sensitive and responsible where victims and offenders are supported by others in the community. For instance, one of common restorative practices is the FGC or Family Group Conference, which was derived from an indigenous tribe in New Zealand in response to the tribe’s concerns with their children being removed by the courts. Through this practice, there is more power to the family as the family gets to be the principal stakeholder in making decisions. There may a be facilitator who shows the information about the child or adult to the whole family and then the family is given private time together to come up with a plan for the future without having to rely on the facilitator or others. However, the government or professionals would be available in offering resources to promote the family’s plan and thereby bring it to fruition ultimately. Thus, not only does the restorative process bring about...

...| Domestic Violence | | | Veronica Crews | DeVry University | | INTRODUCTION Do the problems with our economy have any effect on the increasing number of domestic violence reportings? Money problems are always a risk factor in relationships. Due to the downfall of job losses, the falling of the financial markets, and foreclosed homes, there has been more tension in homes. As a result, organizations that deal with domestic violence and substance abuse are bracing for more demand for their services, even as the recession is forcing some to cut budgets and lay off their own personnel. Although an economic downturn itself does not cause domestic violence, it can increase the factors that contribute to domestic violence and reduce victim's ability to leave. (Kalson, 2008). According to the National Network to End Domestic Violence 24-hour census, “the economic climate may give batterers additional leverage when using emotional and financial abuse to control their partners” (Feb. 2009). Domestic abuse occurs when one person in an intimate relationship or marriage tries to dominate and control the other person. Domestic abuse that includes physical violence is called domestic violence. Domestic violence and abuse are used for one purpose and one purpose only: to gain and maintain control over someone. The abuser doesn’t play fair. They use intimidation, fear, shame, and guilt to wear someone down and keep that person under his or her thumb. The abuser...
