#TheGoodWillAlwaysWin
Olá a todos.
Primeiro que tudo quero expressar o meu pesar, consternação e solidariedade com todas as vítimas de todos os atentados sofridos nos últimos dias nos mais variados locais do mundo. Pessoalmente, os atentados de Paris fizeram um ferido na comunidade T&T e os últimos dias foram de energia positiva enviada à nossa querida J.O. Tenho a certeza que a bondade vencerá o mal e que é no rescaldo destes acontecimentos, que vemos o melhor de cada ser humano. Há que sobreviver, crer e actuar para todos não esquecermos o pior, mas acima de tudo o melhor, que cada ser humano é capaz de fazer.

Porque é que esta prática é feita? São vários os factores apontados, entre os quais o risco de sanções sociais, incluindo o casamento, respeito e inclusão na comunidade. Por estes motivos, a prática de mutilação sexual feminina (MGF) ainda é uma tradição recorrente na África ocidental e completamente encorajada por homens e até mulheres, pais destas raparigas, e por isso tão difícil de combater.
Why this practice is done? Several pointed factors, including the risk of social sanctions, including marriage, respect and inclusion in the community. For these reasons, the practice of female genital mutilation (FGM) is still a recurring tradition in West Africa and fully encouraged by men and even women, parents of these girls, and that's why it is so difficult to fight against.

Muitos pais receiam se uma filha não for cortada, provavelmente não irá casar bem, pode ser vista como impura, ser rejeitada pela comunidade, ser considerada promiscua, e em alguns casos menos fértil.
Many parents fear if a daughter won't be cut probably she will not marry well, can be seen as impure, be rejected by the community, be considered promiscuous, and in some cases less fertile.

E em que consiste a MGF? Trata-se da remoção completa ou parcial dos órgãos exteriores genitais femininos (lábios, clitóris e prepúcio). Tal prática não acarreta qualquer beneficio para a saúde e resulta, por vezes em danos físicos permanentes para a mulher, devido à maneira como é realizado, muitas vezes sem anestesia ou material estéril.
And what is the FGM? This is the partial or complete removal of female external genitals (labia, clitoris and clotoral hood). This practice does not entail any benefit to the health and sometimes results in permanent physical damage to the woman, because of the way it is done, often without anesthesia or sterile material.

Mais de 130 milhões de raparigas e mulheres vivem actualmente com as consequências de uma MGF. O procedimento é barbárico e drástico, podendo resultar na sua forma mais severa no fecho total do canal genital feminino. Um orifício é deixado para a menstruação e urina. A cicatriz eventualmente sara, formando um "selo" - a vagina - que terá que ser novamente cortado para permitir relações sexuais, antes de ser novamente aberto para permitir que as mulheres possam entrar em parto em caso de gravidez. E em alguns casos, após um parto, o processo volta todo ao inicio novamente.
More than 130 million girls and women are currently living with the consequences of FGM. The procedure is barbaric and drastic, and may result in its most severe form, in the total closure of the female genital tract. A hole is left for menstrual blood and urine. The scar possibly heal, forming a "seal" - the vagina - which will have to be re-cut to allow sexual intercourse before being opened again to allow women to go into labor, if they get pregnant. And in some cases, after a birth, the process returns to start all over again.

Desculpem se a descrição foi muito dura, mas nem eu tinha ideia de como este procedimento se realizava. E atenção, não olhemos só para a África. É estimado que actualmente existam 500.000 mulheres na Europa a viver com consequências de um MGF e estima-se que cerca de 30 milhões de raparigas e mulheres em todo o mundo estão em risco de sofrer esta prática nos próximos 10 anos.
Sorry if the description was very tough, but I had no idea how this procedure is performed. And please lett's pay attention because this is happening not only for Africa. It is estimated that there are currently 500,000 women in Europe living with the consequences of FGM and it is estimated that about 30 million girls and women worldwide are at risk to be cut in the next 10 years.

Amigos leitores: Não deixemos que a revolta, a intolerância, o medo e a o ódio sejam maiores. Não podemos mudar o mundo da noite para o dia, mas o trabalho que cada um de nós tem que fazer para o tornar um lugar melhor, é tarefa para uma vida. E por mais incerta que ela seja, e mesmo que possa subitamente acabar, faça com que cada dia conte. De maneira gentil e bondosa podemos abalar o mundo!
Dear readers: Do not let the revolt, intolerance, fear adn hate become greater than the human essence. Maybe we can not change the world overnight, but the work that each of us can do to become it a better place is a task for a lifetime. And however uncertain it may be, and even though it may suddenly end, make each day count. On a gentle and kind way we can shake the world!
