Do you think the practice of FGM will die out with the younger generation?
With social media and access to the internet, younger people in Somalia will see videos and information online that the practice is barbaric and has no basis in Islam,
whereas the older generation grew up with everyone around them saying it’s sunnah, part of the culture and a transition into womanhood.
So perhaps the younger generation will decide to not continue the tradition with their children.
