In Kenya, in the year 2013, girls from 6 to 15 years of age are being "cut". 85% of them undergo total mutilation of their external genitalia for non medical reasons. Long before the completion of their growth, girls get in line, and undergo this operation, without any anesthetic or analgesic and under conditions of no hygiene.
