.We 'meet' Kadi on the morning she is to be circumcised when she is
still blissfully ignorant of what is about to happen to her. We see
her at home, going about her daily chores, eating her breakfast and
then accompany her on the journey to the village where the
operation is to take place. Photos depict the sacrifice of a
chicken as a precursor to her own circumcision and then we witness
as Kadi is taken by the buankisa (circumciser), made to undress,
held down and then cut.
While the photographs are very confronting, they are portrayed
with sensitivity and delicacy, yet evoke sadness and anger, which
we hope will serve to rally readers against this practice. A
prologue by Dr Olayinka Koso-Thomas, renowned for her work in
Africa to end FGM, gives a context for FGM historically and now,
and an explanatory text outlines what female genital mutilation
actually is.
