Igbo no es una región, los Igbo son una etnia que se encuentra al sudeste de Nigeria, y también en Camerún. Su idioma es el asụsụ Ndi Igbo
La historia es sobre una mujer Igbo y no sobre una mujer yorùbá, así que no sirve como punto de referencia para este tema.
Felicidades
Los igbo hoy en dia no son una region, pero en su momento, como usted dice, fueron nombrados de este modo despues de la conquista europea. Antes de eso no tenian identidad como etnia. Despues si, al punto que tuevieron guerras con otras etnias nigerianas para "soberanizarse" y distinguirse. Pero volviendo al tema Usted cree que por ser una mujer Igbo no aplica el articulo? Es cierto que los igbo tiene su propio lenguaje, incluso su religion no es a orisa; mas la filosofia es practicamente la misma con distintos nombres. Lo mismo pasa con los dahomenianos. Usted es tan ingenuo para creer que todas esas etnias africanas no tiene el mismo origen en comun? Esa historia aplica tanto para los Igbos, los yorubas y/o practicamente cualquier poblacion africana que tenga mas arraigadas sus costumbres primitivas. Es mas las costumbres yorubas son en algunos casos mas expeluznantes:
Si no esta convencido aqui le dejo unas estadisticas interesantes:
Prevalence of Female Genital Cutting in the States of Nigeria
Another survey carried out, by The National Baseline Survey of Positive and Harmful Traditional Practices Affecting Women and Girls in Nigeria {Egunjobi: 2000}reports that the highest rates of FGM were found in Osun State {98.7per cent}, Oyo State {96.8 per cent) and Ondo State {91.6 per cent}. Edo followed with (74 per cent). In the South-East, the highest rate was found in Imo State (95.4 per cent), Abia and Anambra have rates of (82.4 per cent and 75.5 per cent). Significant rates were also recorded in the South-South, Cross River (93 per cent), Delta State (91.4 per cent), Akwa Ibom State (65 per cent), and Rivers (58.3 per cent). In Kano State, the rate is 55.5 per cent, in Kaduna State, it is 36.5 per cent and in Jigawa, it is (32 per cent).
Los estados mas afectados son Yorubas....
Si no saben a que se refieren las estadisticas aqui les va la explicacion:
Different Forms Of Female Genital Mutilation
1.Circumcision/Sunna: is the mildest form of female genital mutilation. It entails the cutting of parts of the prepuce. It is the only type that is analogous to male circumcision and is classified by World Health Organisation as type 1
2.Clitoridectomy: This is the second type classified by WHO as type II. It involves the partial or complete removal of the clitoris with a part or all of the labia minora. It is also referred to as excision, but the extent of the cut in the latter is a bit wider than that of the clitoridectomy. The latter is a bit wider than that of the clitoridectomy and excision. They are often collapsed into one category.
3.Infibulation: This is the most severe and radical form of practice. It involves the complete removal of the clitoris, the whole of the labia minora and the middle part of the labia majora, after which two sides of the vulva are stitched together with catgut, thorns or thread so as to cover the urethra and the vaginal opening. A tiny piece of wood is inserted to leave a passage for urine and menstrual flow.
In some places, after the sewing of the lips of the vulva, the legs of the girl are tied together from ankle to knee, to facilitate speedy healing of the wound. The infibulated woman is cut open to allow coitus on her wedding night and or later to allow childbirth. This process is known as defibulation. The openings are stitched up after each childbirth.
In some tribes, the woman is sewn back each time her husband goes travelling and is opened again each time he comes back. In case of divorce, the woman is sewn up to forbid her any possibility of intercourse {EL Saadwai, 1980:40} and so also when a woman is widowed. This is known as re-infibulation. Infibulation is also known as Pharaonic circumcision. It is mostly practiced in the Muslim world.
No me voy a dar a la tarea de traducirlo puesto que sabios es lo que sobra en el foro y ya hablar ingles no entra en el standard. Ahora que alguien me explique si a una dama le amputan el clitoris, las labias minoras y parte de las majora, a que se la a hacer el s _ _ _ o _ _ _? A la pelvis? Un saludo
