MANDATORY USE WITH AFP STORY BY MARIETTE LE ROUX '' SURGERY OFFERS HOPE FOR VICTIMS OF FEMALE GENITAL MUTILATION''
Fatima Sheriff poses on June 11, 2012 at her home in La Roche-Guyon. Sheriff was four years old, living in the West African state of Sierra Leone, when this nightmare took place. She is one of about 140 million women worldwide to have been subjected to genital mutilation -- a practice in which a young girl's clitoris and labia are removed in the superstition that this will reduce libido and keep a woman chaste.
