The next generation in pleasure: The Mango Juicer™ was developed after learning of the practice of Female Genital Mutilation, (FGM) and Female Circumcision.

Understanding that women who have had this, fast becoming outlawed practice performed, have had their basic human rights violated.

Feeling the need to make changes, The Mango Juicer™ was developed to stimulate the G-Spot to bring awareness of the fact that after a Clitorectomy, many women lose the ability to have a clitoral orgasm.

The Mango Juicer™ has been disguised as a “Kitchen Utensil”, to get it into areas where, “Males”, would prefer that females never experience the pleasure of an orgasm, which has been given to us by our creator. Profits from the sales of The Mango Juicer™ are donated to The Waris Dirie Foundation (www.waris-dirie-foundation.com) and Forward UK (www.forwarduk.org.uk ), which is an organization that was set up to safeguard human rights & dignity and stop Female Genital Mutilation.

If you are not convinced that these barbaric practices are still being performed on young girls and infants without their consent and understanding, take a look at some of the many videos out there on the subject and make-up your own mind.  In the meantime, enjoy The Mango Juicer™ and know that your purchase has helped to educate and stop this practice.

Where and why female circumcision is practiced.

An estimated 70 million girls and women in 27 African and Middle Eastern countries have been circumcised. There are 12 countries where more than 50 per cent of girls and women ages 15 to 49 are circumcised and 11 counties where 10 per cent to 50 per cent of females aged 15 to 49 are circumcised.

An estimated 70 million girls and women in 27 African and Middle Eastern countries have been circumcised. The age-old tradition, also known as female genital mutilation, is primarily performed on girls ages four to 14, although in some countries it is done on infants. It involves removing a girl's clitoris and sometimes other external genitalia.

FGM is done out of beliefs that it controls a women's sexuality, enhances fertility, initiates into womanhood or is required by religion, although Muslim and Christian leaders have spoken out against it. FGM is also performed for hygienic and esthetic reasons in some places where genitalia are believed to be dirty.

Countries where more than 50 per cent of girls and women ages 15 to 49 are circumcised: Burkina Faso , Djibouti , Egypt , Eritrea , Ethiopia , Gambia , Guinea , Mali , Mauritania , Sierra Leone , Somalia and Sudan (north). Countries where 10 per cent to 50 per cent of females aged 15 to 49 are circumcised: Benin , Cameroon , Central African Republic , Chad , Ivory Coast , Guinea-Bissau , Kenya , Nigeria , Senegal , Tanzania and Yemen .

Classification of FGM:

The World Health Organization (WHO) provides four different categories of female genital mutilation:
• Type I – excision of the prepuce, with or without excision of part or all of the clitoris
• Type II – excision of the clitoris with partial or total excision of the labia minora
• Type III “Infibulations” – excision of part or all of the external genitalia and stitching/narrowing of the vaginal opening  
• Type IV – recent classification to include any of the alternative rituals, which range from pricking, piercing or incising of the clitoris and/or labia; stretching of the clitoris and/or labia; cauterization by burning of the clitoris and surrounding tissue; scraping of tissue surrounding the vaginal orifice or cutting of the vagina.

The most common type of female genital mutilation is excision of the clitoris and the labia minora, accounting for up to 80% of all cases; the most extreme form, infibulation, only constitutes about 15% of all procedures.

Prevalence:
Female genital mutilation is still most often found in 28 countries of Africa along with some countries in the Middle East and Asia . However, with globalization and growing migration, FGM is now practiced in countries where it was not traditionally found, in immigrant populations in Australia , Canada , Europe, New Zealand and the United States of America . The type of FGM practiced varies by country and even by community.

Why FGM Exists:
In societies that practice FGM, it is considered to be a rite of passage to mark the transition from childhood to womanhood. Used as a way to control women’s sexuality, however, FGM is a manifestation of gender inequality and discrimination related to the historical suppression and subjugation of women, denying girls and women the full enjoyment of their rights and liberties.

A number of rationalizations attempt to justify and perpetuate FGM as integral part of cultures:

• Sociological reasons:
initiation of girls into womanhood, social integration, establishment a woman’s eligibility for marriage, and ingrained notions that parents must cut their daughters in order to be good parents. In some societies, girls who remain uncut are considered unmarriageable.

• Psychosexual reasons:
reduce the sexual thoughts and desires of women, maintain chastity and virginity before marriage and fidelity during marriage, bring greater sexual pleasure to husbands.

• Hygienic/Aesthetic reasons:
external female genitalia are considered dirty and unsightly and are to be removed to promote hygiene and provide aesthetic appeal.

• Religious/Mythical reasons:
enhance fertility, make childbirth easier, and although no religion condones FGM, many communities believe it to be a requirement of their religion.

FGM as a Human Rights Violation:
Genital mutilation infringes on the rights of women and girls to reproductive health and bodily integrity and subjects them to torturous and degrading practices. It is a manifestation of gender-based human rights violations that exist in cultures that aim to control women's sexuality and autonomy. The rights to physical and mental integrity, to freedom from discrimination and to the highest standard of health are universal, and cultural claims cannot be invoked to justify their violation.

Subjecting girls and women to female genital mutilation without their consent violates a number of recognized regional and international human rights instruments. The Convention on the Rights of Child, the Convention on the Elimination of all forms of Discrimination Against Women, and many other human rights agreements, explicitly recognize the harm this practice can inflict on girls and young women. In fact, in 2003 the African Union issued the Protocol on the Rights of Women in Africa , calling for the elimination of discrimination against women in law, policies, development plans, and all spheres of life, including eliminating harmful cultural and traditional practice, explicitly mentioning the practice of Female Genital Mutilation.

Where is FGM Practiced?

The majority of cases of FGM are carried out in 28 African countries. In some countries, (e.g. Egypt , Ethiopia , Somalia and Sudan ), prevalence rates can be as high as 98 per cent. In other countries, such as Nigeria , Kenya , Togo and Senegal , the prevalence rates vary between 20 and 50 per cent. It is more accurate however, to view FGM as being practiced by specific ethnic groups, rather than by a whole country, as communities practicing FGM straddle national boundaries. FGM takes place in parts of the Middle East, i.e. in Yemen , Oman , Iraqi Kurdistan, amongst some Bedouin women in Israel , and was also practiced by the Ethiopian Jews, and it is unclear whether they continue with the practice now that they are settled in Israel . FGM is also practiced among Bohra Muslim populations in parts of India and Pakistan , and amongst Muslim populations in Malaysia and Indonesia .
