A mother in the Australian state of Queensland who took her two daughters to Somalia for genital mutilation has been warned she faces four years in prison for her crime.
The woman cannot be named to protect the identities of her children, however court records confirm she is the first person to be sentenced in the northern state for removing a child for the purposes of female genital mutilation.
She was found guilty of taking her daughters, then aged 10 and 13, to her birth country in April 2015 for the procedure, and will have her sentence suspended after eight months, SBS reports.
Female genital mutilation refers to all procedures involving partial or total removal of or injury to the external female genitalia or genital organs, such as stitching of the labia majora or pricking of the clitoris. It is performed on women and girls at a range of ages, including babies.
There is no medical reason for the procedure, which can result in infections, shock, bleeding, chronic pain, reproductive issues and death.
Brisbane District Court Justice Leanne Clare described the mutilation as child abuse, and said the mother, 45, had taken them to Africa in April 2015 for the purpose of having it done.
“In this case, a woman of unknown ability used a sharp implement to excise the clitoral hood of each girl,” Justice Clare said during sentencing on Thursday.
“The girls were not sedated, there was bleeding and a period of significant pain for perhaps a number of days, there was obvious risk of infection, even death.”
The trial heard the girls had no idea the procedure was planned until they were called inside while playing at their grandmother’s house.

Only four years in prison for this crap?
Somalia is the worst country in the world
I guess Australian doctors don’t offer proper genital mutilation.
Or maybe it isn’t covered by insurance.
Where is one to go, then?
Yeah that’s what i was thinking.
You destroyed 2 girls and you are looking at a stretch of time that an unarmed thief can get?
Send the mother back to Somalia where she obviously belongs.
FGM is rape, basically, for a girl’s lifetime
they dam sure should not have let her back in.
she and her ilk will infest, subvert and destroy AUS.
but they’re rulers are good suicidal PC enforcers too.
It is about time someone had the balls to hold parents accountable for butchering their daughters.
Congresswoman Ilhan Omar was raised in Somalia until age 18, and was likely clipped herself.
No wonder she is so disagreeable...
“There is no medical reason for the procedure”
...but it is a selling point when forcibly marrying them off to jihadis.
I'm not into rape so I guess I won't see the advantage. One of the great joys of sex is the pleasure that it gives to your spouse. If she isn't enjoying, how can you?
There is a better solution. Keep them in Somalia. It is now safe for them since they are going back and forth.
Is FGM why so many American women want to join Islam?
All the girls can get genitally mutilated in the USA for free, paid by insurance or the State, if they say they’re transitioning and having their authentic inner gender confirmed.
But you better use the PC pronouns. Yes, zir!
“I guess I won’t see the advantage” (in clitorectomy)
Basically, they want the wives to be eunuchs, so they are less likely to have sex with other men, because there is not much for them in sex. It is to make them more controllable.
It was the MOTHER. #metoo
