I am told from statistics that, at least, 38 per cent of women in this country undergo the cut. Mortality rate is still unacceptably high. When 590 women in one 100,000 die, it is not acceptable for a country such as ours. On HIV/AIDS, as Dr. Eseli has said, concentrate on the treatment.

I am talking about encounters with groups such as ... view
