Just watching this makes me furious at this plain wickedness! How can one do this to their own flesh and blood?!

I am both heart broken and furious at this evil practice! women need to be sensitized and must learn to speak up. I love the wrap up though - culture is not divine but man-made. With this understanding we can change the narrative
