Indeed, I remember a striking encounter with this secrecy when discussing FGM with an Omani university student who was helping me with research. This educated and free-thinking young man had heard of FGM, but had assumed Oman was free of the practice. He was stunned on reading surveys showing that Oman had FGM-rates estimated as being from 75 to 95%. Soon afterwards he was further stunned to find out this his own sisters and mother had undergone FGM}} | |||
