SV: {UAH} Labia elongation is child abuse - activists

Okeya GWOKTO,

Haaa......Haaaa......Haaaa.....

You and Mzee Miriima are quite interesting! This game I used to hear that it was the game of Basoga gals! But, I now read from Ndugu Kipenji that it was the Baganda gals who know it deeper!

Mirima. The thingi looking like a pair of snoods on a kulukulu nose simply looks disgusting. If and when stiffened during the act it's like two men doing each other.

Nzee Mirima,
UK considers it to be part of genital mutilation!

On what basis is the UK declaring labia elongation illegal? Since it is not harmful to health, not a mutilation, but a preparation for sexual bliss, why should it be declared illegal.

By the way in UK, does Government regularly undress and inspect girls bodies?

Does Desire Luzinda regret to have had her labia minora elongated when she was young.

When she showed her kitone to the whole world, hasn't her KITONE upgraded her in society.

Labia elongation is illegal in the UK. 

Possible 14 years in prison if found guilty!

But I think this is too much cultural monitoring.  Men generally love those bu-long things.  If it's done while kids are young, as in circumcision, I think it should be alright. But country laws have to be respected!

Labia elongation is child abuse - activists

"If girls are 18 years and above, they are allowed to do anything they want but doing that to them while they are still children is child abuse...," Dr Kigozi said.

Kampala. It is child abuse for parents to pull the clitoris of their female children as a cultural practice aimed at ushering them into woman hood, former executive director of the Uganda Investment Authority has said.
Dr Maggie Kigozi said the cultural practice is another form of female genital mutilation (FGM) and that it should be stopped.
"Pulling of the clitoris is another form of FGM, please parents, leave the young ones alone. They feel uncomfortable when pulling them, leave them to grow and they decide for themselves…," Dr Kigozi said at the launch of Tu Wezesha Akina Dada project in Kampala last Friday.
The project is aimed at tackling gender-based violence.
"If girls are 18 years and above, they are allowed to do anything they want but doing that to them while they are still children is child abuse...," she said.
Labia stretching, also known as labia elongation or pulling, is done for sexual enjoyment and gratification for both partners since elongated labia are perceived to facilitate orgasm and female ejaculation.
The executive director of Akina Mama Wa Afrika, an NGO, Ms Eunice Musiime, also accused parents of promoting sexual violence against girls by seeking for out-of-court settlement of cases with the perpetrator.
Ms Naana Otoo-Oyortey, the executive director of Forward, a UK-based women organisation, called on the Uganda government to fulfil its obligations of protecting young women from all forms of sexual violence.

Prevalence
In Uganda, the people of central, western and eastern regions practice labia modification. The length to which the labia is pulled varies, with the Banyankore and Batooro preferring several dangling inches while Baganda favour them protruding no more than an inch.
