Shutzer ’10, for instance, said she had spent time in Senegal working with the organization Tostan to reduce the practice of female circumcision. Some attendees argued that some forms of female circumcision are not as violent as they are often portrayed, and that the practice is seen in some cultures as an important rite of purification before marriage. Michelle E. Oboite ’08 discussed a relative who has undergone female circumcision, who Oboite said views it as a cultural practice that “doesn?...
