ReplyDeleteThe facial expression of this little girl is worth a thousand speeches
ReplyDeleteI'm in tears. I want to scoop her up and hold her close, make a promise to her that this barbaric practice will no longer hurt other children like her. Seems like such a distant promise.
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting this.
Apologies for the graphic nature of the image. Despite progress on that front, there are still too many children victims of this practice.
ReplyDeleteEn plus, lame no anaovana azy! ndryyyyy, mampalahelo sady mampirevolte ny mahita ilay izy
ReplyDeleteIt's a horrible practice. Especially on people who have no say in the matter. Hope it ends soon, and thanks for publicising.
