Thus Spoke Fatima

Abstract

“ … I do not recall the day of my circumcision. I have no recollection of the physical pain I was made to suffer. But what has remained engraved in my memory and what I can never forget, is the agony and affliction I began to feel when I grew up and became aware of the horror inflicted on my body, of the physical amputation I was submitted to, an essential part of my femininity had been cut off from me and tossed away.
