FGM means female genitalia mutilation, and itโs supposedly meant to prevent rape of young girlsโฆ
The prevalence of FGM among women aged 15โ49 in Somalia is 99.2%.
72% of women believe that FGM is a requirement of their religion.
Geography
Prevalence is marginally higher among nomadic populations (99.7%), but universally high in all locations
Age
Most girls are cut between the ages of 10 and 14
Type
Most women have undergone Type III FGM/C (infibulation/โsewn closedโ), which is also known as Pharaonic FGM/C
Agent
Predominantly traditional practitioners, but medicalised FGM/C is on the rise
Distribution of FGM/C across Somalia
In 2006, prevalence in the South/Central Zone was 99.2% and in 2011 in the North-East Zone (Puntland) it was 98% (women aged 15โ49). There is no geographical breakdown available for the prevalence in 2020.
Across both Somalia and Somaliland, women who live in rural areas are only slightly more likely to undergo FGM/C than those who live in urban areas. The prevalence is highest among nomadic women, but is universally high (over 98%) among women living in all areas.
76.4% of women believe that FGM/C should continue and 18.9% believe that it should not.
While support for Type III (Pharaonic) FGM/C has declined in recent years, other types of FGM referred to as โSunniโ remain popular. More than four in five women in the oldest age group experienced Pharaonic cutting, compared to less than half of women in the youngest age group.

Messages between me and Ibrahim @wolf-aid on the 17th of april 2025, shared with his permission
Ibrahim is only fifteen years old, and this is the kind of things he has to deal with because of the occupation. He dreams of continuing his education, but this genocide has taken that from him. Ibrahimโs home, school, and the places he used to spend his time have been destroyed, and he has been displaced multiple times and lost many relatives in the bombings. No one should have to go through this, and especially not at his age.
On top of this, both of his parents suffer from health issues, which is scary enough for a child to experience even outside of a war zone where they canโt get adequate treatment.
Prices in Gaza are sky high for food, medications and other necessities, and evacuations are expensive too. If you can donate to Ibrahimโs campaign, you are helping this family survive until the border reopens, and making sure they can afford to leave when they have the chance.
Thanks to Ibrahimโs hard work campaigning for his family, they have reached almost 90% of their goal, but they still have a little under 10,000 to go. Please donโt ignore him and donโt let this campaign slow down when they are so close to reaching their goal ๐๐ผ๐ต๐ธ

rape jokes aren't funny
rape isn't funny
rapists don't deserve sympathy
there is no excuse for raping someone
whether they're a:
terf
fascist
liberal
leftist
whatever
et cetera
corrective rape is inherently patriarchal
dare i say fascist.
please take rape seriously.
it's not a fantasy, it's a reality for most.

Blows their mind, yet jelously gaurding it like a dragon guards gold eggs.And hoarded it for themselves for as long as possible. Hmm.

Joan was acquitted in 1975, and she is still alive today.
