Thank you Doctor for helping women who have been subjected to this deeply sick and anti-woman act. I just finished watching "Honor Diaries" where it was mentioned that a one-year old girl did of infection after FGM. I consider myself pretty tough, but that brought tears to my eyes. I hope I will live to see the day where this barbarity is banned and perpetrators appropriately punished.
@@danielbryce6072ffs this isn’t about you or men, it’s about women. You’re a MISOGYNIST that can’t stand to not have men be the center of the universe.
Brilliant talk Jasmine Abdulcadir. I'm thrilled to see public recognition of your vital care for sufferers of FGM/C and the pioneering research you are producing now. It's time that female genitals are taken out of the shadows and given the social dignity and scientific respect they deserve.
It’s interesting because now she’s writing papers against male circumcision of infants as well. Seems that the natural male genitalia are still in the shadows as well.
I am watching this speech for the first time and I really want to help these women! I am feeling very sad but somewhat hopeful that positive change can happen! Can you please help me with any suggestions how I could help? Thanks.
Modern medicine has dragged a large portion of humanity out of the dark ages. But superstitions reign supreme in many parts of the world. Dr. Abdulcadir is a shinning example of a modern woman doing her best to fight back against beliefs that damage lives.
@@winstonmarlowe5254 Question; Should a parent be legally forced to give up a kidney or a piece of their liver for a biological child? No where in the world do we grant this kind of "special rights" to a living child, but you want to give these rights to a fetus? Also, how many of these unwanted babies have you personally adopted, once they are brought into this world? _Hypocrisy_
What do you mean cut for health reasons? It’s not natural and totally in opposition to evolution and natural selection so how are there any health benefits to any cutting?
I was on the edge of crying all throughout watching this wonderful speech! I am a grown up woman, and sadly I did not know about these things! I want to help these women but I don't know how! :( Any suggestions how I can help?
The insinuation of mutilated genitalia NOT being UN-NORMAL and INCOMPLETE is a slap to the face of REALITY and a slap in the face of all these tortured, mutilated girls and women! Abdulcadir seems to be an ideologist in first place - one of the dangerous ones who downplay this systematic and sadistic violence and its terrible consequences for the victims.
Huh??? Dangerous??? Have we watched the same video??? She's helping tho women recover! Both emotionally and physically! You WANT them to continue feeling miserable for the rest of their lives instead??
Very informative talk. I'm not a Muslim, but I have a question here. Why on earth is FGM even practiced? Why do we need to show the almighty that we are devoted to the lord, with such inhuman practices? Why do we humans don't understand that just like technology, even rituals and customs can become obsolete?
@@alizehkhakwani1954 stop lying it has a lot to do with Islam . It’s very much a part of Islam supposed prophet Muhammad actually saw a little girl getting cut and did nothing to stop it. That’s why it’s practiced in mainly Islamic countries.. you need to face the truth to change the problem denying the truth will never fix the problem. If you care about the problem you would look at the source of it and change peoples minds on how to interpret things differently..
@@stefonpalinic5559 im not lying. I live in an Islamic country and its not practiced here. Neither have i ever read it anywhere . Our teachers never taught us. Religious services never made this known . Its only male circumcision that is practiced and promoted. I only came to know of it last year through youtube. Please dont lie and spread misinformation about my prophet. If you have a source of this event with a girl getting cut share your source so i can tell you what a weak source is and what an authentic one is.
@Afrikan Tresses what "horrifying practices" does the West have? God designed women's genitalia exactly as he wanted. There's no need to cut women up in an attempt to improve on His work.
@@MargePace plastic surgery is a personal choice there is no cultural pressure to do it, plus it's expensive. In these countries, they just cut these women up whether they want it or not, there's no comparison.
@@captaineveryman6589 Well there's obviously some culturel pressure when many women in the West want to shorten their labia and many women in some parts of Afrika want to stretch them to make them longer! But you are on to the right idea, it's about informed consent, the choice. Most men in USA are denied that choice and have their genitalia shaped to fit their culture as some women did not too long ago. Even in other western countries, parents are still allowed to do this even if most choose not to, so in that sense the developing world is further ahead at tackling their harmful non censensual cultural practices than the West.
Flat Iron Bingo! The origin of circumcision was to make an offering to the gods. Ideas like this exist in modern but ancient religions of today. Thanks for the point. My parents kept mine👨🔧.
if piercing or pricking and partial or all of the removable of the clitoral hood are considered FGM; then definitely male circumcision would fall under MGM; given that it is much more severe and invasive procedure, than lets say clitoral hood pricking.
More than a third of the world's men are circumcised and only a very tiny proportion of them are Jews. African Jews in the North East used to circumcised girls too until they were evacuated to Israel where it is not practiced. US is the only Western country practicing routine newborn circumcision and it is not only sad but horrific, the worst human rights violation of any Western nation, although none protect all children from this.
depending what age the girl was :if she was really little;to tell her that her brother and sister arrived in doctor's suitcase ;is a cute way to tell it:really see no harm.A girl under a certain age really does not have to have an explanation how babies arrivve.
its not Muslims that practice fgm its all religions and all cultures and all cultures across the world. in Australia 1/3 girls are at risk of fgm and in the whole of the US every year 3 million girls have this practice performed. so think again
@@dday3322 You would like everyone to believe that, but those who have studied Islam know what you are saying is not true. FGM only happens under Islamic rule.

@@danielbryce6072ffs this isn’t about you or men, it’s about women. You’re a MISOGYNIST that can’t stand to not have men be the center of the universe.
You know those cultures that cut girls also cut their male children, right? The biggest proponents of FGM are the women who were already circumcised

MGM is still practiced around the world, even in the west, and promoted worldwide by the likes of the WHO, UN, UNICEF, etc.
@@danielbryce6072 Would like to comment, but not sure what you mean by MGM?
_Perhaps, male circumcision?_
@@moodyrick8503 Don't downplay it. It's the needless reduction of a BABY's anatomy. It is by definition mutilation.

She is putting down the horror of this procedure. The right attitude is zero tolerance against FGM
She speaking facts tho 💯 to each culture it’s own let them be
She is not putting down the horrors, she's talking in a very imparcial way and without prejudice...is quite different.
And MGM.
I totally agree. Barbaric practice.
Totally agree - is a slap in the face of mutilated girls and women!
Amazing! Best Ted talk ever! Thank you
Ma sha Allah ❤ May Allah always bless the true souls untill we remeet in Jannah Ameen ❤❤❤🌹
Really informative. I loved her speech.
Cut for Religion VS Cut for Health. Good info, as in scaring or surviving and recovery/adapting. Informative. Gratitude.
What do you mean cut for health reasons? It’s not natural and totally in opposition to evolution and natural selection so how are there any health benefits to any cutting?
There is no "cutting for health", there are no health benefits, only the opposite.
I was on the edge of crying all throughout watching this wonderful speech! I am a grown up woman, and sadly I did not know about these things! I want to help these women but I don't know how! :( Any suggestions how I can help?
One way to help is to fight the practice of MGM as well. Until both are eradicated, neither will be!

You sound like a sexist that has to make everything “ men too!” . This is not at all comparable to make circumcision. Go away misogynist.
How can this still be going in the world today
The same way boys genitals are cut
@ That isnt true and there is a growing movement of not circumcising boys anymore, thankfully.
Practice still happening.. atleast here in country i live , indonesia @@teresamcmud2605

FGM has nothing to do with islam. Its a cultural thing. Only Male circumcision is the permissible practice.

Thank you so much for this.
I've seen so many Somalis in Uganda who have gone through FGM who get tears during birth
so heartbreaking 💔
STOP IT ⚠ 😔
I had mine cut of when I was very young so can I ever feel pleasure? Real question
Yes sis you can ...do this procedure and am sure u will lead a happy life
Khadiijo Farax thank you 🥰
@@anfacomar4758 You need to talk to a doctor about these things. A doctor can help you understand what was done to you, and can answer your questions!

So many similarities to male circumcision.
Really? How?
The same myth about hygienic wellbeing of men, though it's not true...

I'm guessing you weren't circumcised, but what if you had been a boy, would you have been so lucky?
Jewish, no , non jewish yes. Why heavy religon is a bunch of words. I think america is the only western country that does routine cutting, kind of sad
