Doctors who practice female circumcision say that there are many reasons for this – from religious beliefs to the development of cervical cancer. However, this is not a good enough reason to endanger a woman, and especially child’s health. Often the process of healing after circumcision can take a long time and can be uncertain. This procedure can cause bleeding and infertility, and sometimes even lead to death.

In honor of the birthday of the Prophet Muhammad 284 families in Jakarta, Indonesia , received money for their daughters participating in a mass circumcision. Winner of numerous awards, photographer Stephanie Sinclair visited this ceremony and presents us these moving photos of the scene.

Using such selfish eye-catcher in outdoor and other advertisement gives a vast scope for creation in ads of different goods – from charity to car enthusiasts magazine.
