A deeply concerning trend is emerging in our communities. We are hearing reports that married and older women are now being pressured to undergo FGM, often being sent back to their parents' homes to do so.

This is a powerful reminder that this practice is rooted in power, control, and survival. When a woman's financial dependence and marriage are at stake, can we truly call her consent free? The law is clear, but the reality is complex. Are these women perpetrators, or are they victims of a system that traps them in impossible choices?

This is a difficult conversation, but one we must have. We must uphold justice while showing compassion and understanding for those caught in these impossible situations.
