<br/><br/> "In Doho [Ethiopia] and surrounding villages...no one imagined there was any alternative to female genital mutilation (FGM), a millenniums-old practice in some 28 African and several Middle Eastern and Asian nations. The practice, they explain, is 'tradition.' Not the kind they understand, they admit, nor know the true origins of--but one they simply had to follow. Until now." (CHRISTIAN SCIENCE MONITOR) This article details how new efforts to end FGM have been successful by using persuasion and discussion instead of making it illegal and threatening criminal punishment.
