I sing it in Wagogo, says Salome, and then I just had to put the few words in English, so that everyone will get the message. I say, Women of this world, men of this world, why should FMG be done to women? That's the question I'm putting out there. Of course, it is because of some of these ritual beliefs that people continue doing it. It's now against the law. Anyone caught doing it will be imprisoned or fined, so at least the government is trying. But people are doing it now very secretly, very quietly. So while we can't eliminate FMG 100%, we are working on that, and we are still looking for support, angels or whatever. We go from village to village, but it's difficult. You can help support Salome's cause, and hear an exclusive piece of music from an Afropop group the world has yet to discover by downloading 'Tohara kwa Wanawake.' -- Banning Eyre Afropop.org]]></atom:content></atom:entry></atom:feed>
