    African women have begun in recent years to research and campaign against the practice of female circumcision. Dr. Koso-Thomas shows that female circumcision is not confined to the Horn of Africa, or the Muslim areas of the Continent. Her study of the practice in Sierra Leone demonstrates its important role in the traditional initiation of females into both womanhood and society in parts of West Africa.

    One afternoon earlier this year, I stepped into the carriage of a Cairo metro train.

It was hard for them to speak openly about the attacks for fear of shaming their families and destroying their own chances of marriage.
