Shame by Leene Khandwala

Description

Leena talks about her experience of khatna (female genital cutting) when she was seven, when an aunt took her to a Bohra woman to be cut. She describes the event vividly, the shame she felt afterwards, and wonders whether she might be better able to enjoy her sexuality, had she not been forced to undergo the practice.
