Female Genital Mutilation, an evil caused by ignorance

  In today's Straits Times (newspaper), was this following article on 'breast ironing' , a practice of female mutilation (against the victim's will) that is still carried out by miserably ignorant mothers/societies in some countries today.

  There is also the bigger issue of "female genital mutilation", which continues to be practiced to this day (against the victim's will), again by miserably ignorant mothers/societies in some countries today.

  Please read the *entire* wikipedia page above, to understand the situation fully.
  
  All of these ongoing 'evil' practices are really caused by ignorance, foolishness, lack of clarity and spiritual education.
  
  We beseech each of you to *ceaselessly* continue your efforts in doing your part to contribute in any way possible, to the consciential or spiritual upliftment and education of this planet.
  
  Some would recall the saying, "If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem", which is true. But we don't want you to help because there are problems; we want (to invite) you to help because you *care*. Because you love. Because you do.

  Its still widely praticed in certain countries to this date.
  
  Life is already suffering enough. Being born a female is even worse suffering.

  In sg, if you have a dick, you're ''cursed'' and ''handicapped'' for life.

  these people who perform such acts should be put behind bars, subjected to torture for 6 years, 6 months and 6 days, then they will be enlightened when they are freed.
