What is the extremely cruel behavior of African tribes?

In a certain tribe in Africa, there is an extremely cruel behavior towards women called "circumcision". When a girl is three years old, a piece of her genitals is cut off and sewn back together. Only on the wedding night will the girl be cut open again by her husband to show the girl's chastity.

Compared with foot binding in ancient my country, circumcision in African tribes is simply life-threatening for women.

Here is the story of a girl named Wallis. Wallis is a little girl from a tribe in Africa. Because there were many children in the family, her father married her to a bad old man in his 60s when she was 12 years old. Just in exchange for 5 camels as a bride price.

Wallis prayed to his parents in vain and ran away to his grandmother. Seeing how pitiful she was, her grandmother bought her a plane ticket and sent her to her uncle's house in London to work as a servant. Six years later, my uncle's family was forced to leave. But Wallis did not leave. While living on the street, he met a girl who was a waitress.

The girl, named Marilyn, took Wallis in and lived with her. One day, Marilyn was feeling depressed and took Wallis to a nightclub for excitement. I brought the man back at night.

Wallis found it unbelievable. Isn't this something that only happens on the wedding night? For the first time, she discovered that not all women were circumcised.

This also made Marilyn feel incredible. The two women compared the differences in each other's bodies.

Wallis decided to have surgery. Because for so many years every time I peeed it was painful. There are also some girls who died from infection after being cut. She was lucky enough to live and grow up.

Later Wallis met a photographer. The man discovered Wallis's beauty and asked her to model. Later it also pushed Wallis onto the international stage.

After becoming famous, Wallis made his experience public. She advocated against the cruel practice of female genital mutilation practiced by certain tribes in Africa. This decision and approach quickly aroused social repercussions.

Although some tribes in Africa still behave like this, it is much better than before.

This is the story of the heroine in the movie "Desert Flower". It also comes from real experience.

After watching this movie, I am sincerely grateful that I was born in China. Born in such a peaceful, free and healthy country!
