Storyville - Defying the Cutting Season

Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) has been illegal in Tanzania since 1998. But every year thousands of families still plan to have their daughters cut, an ordeal that could cost them their lives. The ‘Cutting Season’ takes place during the December school holidays.

During this time hundreds of girls are saved from FGM by the police, the government and the work of the Safe House. It is run by Rhobi Samwelly, who was herself a victim of FGM, and now, not only does she valiantly run the safe house but she also works with the local police to rescue and protect girls at risk while arresting the parents and cutters.

But they have a tough and dangerous job and old customs die hard. Men believe that girls must be cut to reduce promiscuity and cut girls command twice the bride price in cows as uncut girls. Girls like Rosie, just 12 years old, have had to make the most difficult choices of their young lives - run away from home, not knowing if they will ever see their families again, or submit to female genital mutilation and child marriage.

These brave and courageous young girls are fighting against a tradition that goes back thousands of years. They are standing up for their human rights and fighting for change in their community.

The Safe House is the one safe place they can escape to.

Happy Halloween!!!

Reform as well.  At the Kesher services at the senior living facility my grandma lives in, they use tea lights as well.  The woman who usually lights them always asks for a match first, though (she never gets one).  

I know this has been answered for chanukah, but can electric candles replace real candles for shabbat in the case that real candles are not permitted in your living space? (e.g. an apartment or other leased residence)

Mod here. Anon hasn’t restricted this question to any particular FOR, but respondents should give a FOR relevant to their response (e.g. halachic, communal). It may also be helpful to provide reasoning and/or sources since halachic (and spiritual) understandings of electric lights vary even within some communities.

Much thanks! (Todah rabah!)  !תּוֹדָה רַבָּה
