This suggests these codes are nothing more than a set of beliefs about the rightness and wrongness of certain behaviors. Religions have different sets of beliefs about God. I have seen many miracles. Nine out of 10 women in Dijibouti, Egypt, Guinea, Mali, Northern Sudan, Sierra Leone, and Somalia have undergone FGM/C. It is against the law to perform FGM/C in the United States on a girl under the age of 18 or to send or attempt to send her outside the United States so FGM/C can be performed. Among Muslim diaspora communities here in the U.S.—particularly in the Pacific Northwest among the Somali migrant community—FGM/C is performed “in the name of Islam,” disregarding the complete absence of a Quranic mandate on FGM/C. Migrants, traveling with daughters on summer vacations to their native countries have the procedure performed at grave risk of infection, bleeding, and death when non-clinicians perform this procedure.
These may include immediate death after the cut from excessive bleeding, complicated birth and painful sexual intercourse. The cartoons may be accompanied by a single-sentence caption which may be the spoken words of a character. Experiencing this is for many one of the big reasons of coming to Kenya. My mother and one young woman held me with my hands and pinned me down on the floor. The cartoon below is an illustrative cartoon advertising a product.

That day Sarah underwent female genital mutilation (FGM), also known as female genital cutting (FGC), which is the practice of cutting a woman’s genitals.
This is believed to be the first case brought under a law passed in 1996 and amended in 2012, which criminalizes female genital mutilation, according to the Department of Justice. This means no female genital mutilation designed to deny women sexual pleasure. Degrees of mutilation range from excision of the hood of the clitoris or clitoris itself to complete infibulation. Since the medical complications of FGM are severe, even those who undergo surgery will not regain what they have lost in terms of health or appearance. This is an important avenue that will help you know your strengths and the area you can fit properly. In this positions they are able to link the company and other employees because they can observe the employees behavior and analyze if there are changes. These girls can never be made whole again. Traditionally, some communities in Kenya would circumcise not only the boys but the girls too.
Diaspora communities migrating to Western nations continue the practice where we encounter it for the first time. But this time was different. That is why beliefs, values, and morals must always be subjected to ethical analysis as we try to determine what is right and wrong and what is the highest good. Ethics is a philosophy that uses reason to determine right and wrong. Building on a previous report from 2013, in 2016 UNICEF launched an updated report documenting the prevalence of FGM in 30 countries, as well as beliefs, attitudes, trends, and programmatic and policy responses to the practice globally. In 1997 WHO issued a joint statement against the practice of FGM together with UNICEF and UNFPF. You touched on every aspect of goodness and I think there is something in this hub for everyone who is searching for "more". I am so taken-in on your focus/perspective of "goodness".
