Female Mutilation in Africa

Activists are trying to get support to end female genital mutilation in Africa but they are having little success. An international conference ended with the issuance of a plea for more countries to ratify the Protocol on the Rights of Women in Africa. Only three countries so far have ratified the protocol, Rwanda, Libya, and Comoros.

This is a sad situation.
