« J’ai vu une femme accoucher par l’anus »: le témoignage d’un gynécologue sur les conséquences de l’excision
In recent days, an undignified wave has swept across social media in Mali.
Public figures are speaking out in defense of female genital mutilation. They justify it by saying it is to "preserve the chastity of our young girls."
Behind these clean words lies a millennia-old violence. A practice that mutilates, destroys, and kills women. And in response to this discourse, the entire sub-region has risen up.
Among the most resounding voices is that of Professor Charlemagne Ouédraogo. A gynecologist-obstetrician, former Minister of Health of Burkina Faso, and former president of the National Medical Association of Burkina Faso, this man of science and practical experience has chosen to break the silence with a chilling testimony.
"I saw a woman give birth through her perineum and anus."
He recounts: "From my experience, I saw a woman give birth through the perineum and anus. The scars in the vagina were such that there was no longer a passage for the child. Under the force of uterine contractions, the child forced its way out by tearing its mother's perineum and rectum, finally emerging through the anus."
A story that relates to part of the pain of women who have had a part of their body removed.
The doctor added that "Female genital mutilation is a risk factor for maternal mortality, not to mention all the sexual disorders it can cause in women."
