In some places in the world women are still legally butchered via the act of circumcising the clitoris (genital mutilation)
According to yahoo news Immigration Minister Chris Evans said he was “willing to consider directly intervening ” in the case of Grace Gichuhi, 22, and Teresia Ndikaru Muturi, 21 two Kenyan women who fear they will be circumcised if forced to return home.
They have been in Australia since July last year after attending the Catholic World Youth Day and have exhausted their avenues under Australian law to apply for asylum here as our current laws do not offer them protection.
I can not believe that the word “consider” was even used!
Gichuhi said her mother had been killed by members of the Mungiki sect for refusing to have her clitoris cut off, and she also feared death in the crude operation.
“They use a knife. Just a knife, no medicine,” she told Fairfax newspapers.
“They circumcise you and maybe you die.”
Muturi said she was sold for 10 cows to marry a 70-year-old man and would also be circumcised against her will if forced to return.
Yet the Australian government is still “considering” what to do about it?
In my opinion it is easy – these girls are here, these girls need protection and Australia needs to give it to them. What do YOU think?
