 And now to the southwest where traditional rulers and religious leaders in Oshun state have thrown their weight behind elimination of female genital mutilation. They made a commitment in Oshubu, the Oshun state capital, at a one-day state-level engagement. It was organized by UNICEF in collaboration with the Child Rights Information Bureau of the Federal Minister of Information. With the traditional rulers and religious leaders, women groups and others all in attendance. Female genital mutilation has been concerns to most societies, women who are on the receiving end and not finding it palatable. Thus gathering in Oshun state is another discussion to address the menace. It's put together by UNICEF present our traditional and religious leaders, women, groups and other stakeholders. The general agreement is that female genital mutilation has no benefit at all and it poses danger to the survivors. There is no medical advantage for FGM. FGM is considered a human rights violation as stated by the CRC and other international instruments. But we do not see any reason why we should continue with FGM. What about the popular belief that the practice has been done to curb promiscuity in girls? That too is false. It must be a collective effort of everyone, both the men, male, women, traditional rulers, religious leaders, the community, the nation, the state. Everybody we should put our voice in saying no to female genital mutilation and we must ensure that we end female genital mutilation in Oshun state in Nigeria at last. And we are giving the girls and the women the power to also say no. And where to go to? The government agencies are working, everybody is working. They have to speak out and of all law is in place so that whoever that they arrest will face the law. And with this communique, now anyone who engages in female genital mutilation in Oshun state may be arrested to face the full wrath of the law. So you get notified about fresh news updates.
