Since I wasn't sure if posting about this article was appropriate, I waited until I consulted it with Dr. Preston.
As I was looking for an article that looked interesting, I came across this: http://www.theguardian.com/society/2012/nov/18/female-genital-mutilation-circumcision-indonesia when I read it, I was shocked. As the article says, most people aren't aware of this situation. even though this article was published a year ago, the problem of Female Genital Mutilation is still present. As I looked for other articles that related to this, I came acrooss this: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/africa/2681191.stm This articles is from 2003 but it shows that there are people ot there who disagree with FGM. In most cases, FGM is done out of love to purify a girl's purity and not as a punishment.
Other articles that deal with FGM:
