Uganda bans female genital mutilation

[nick]

I'm not going to post the story here. I don't believe it is against vt rules otherwise I wouldnt post the link, but it could still upset anyone who doesnt know what goes on elsewhere. Dont read if you are of a sensitive disposition.

But this is great news. Absolutely fantastic. One down, not sure how many more to go, but progress anyway.

I am so glad that I don't live in a country where they practice things like that... horrible...
At least they're putting an end to it.
