Circumcision left me with large cyst, but Sh120,000 surgery brought back my sexual spark

They say life begins at 40. On March 3, Evangeline Mukami turned 40. A week earlier, on February 26, she had successfully undergone surgery to correct damages suffered from Female Genital Mutilation (FGM).
“The surgery was successful. It gave me the opportunity to enjoy intimacy,” she says. You heard that right: ‘Intimacy’.
Mukami recalls vividly the day she underwent FGM.

She says: “It was early in the morning. I was told to sit on banana leaves. I was held down by women – some of them my aunties.”
“Someone lifted my left leg, another my right, another my arms and another my head. They pinned me down. I couldn’t move a muscle.
