...become a vast and powerful industry, but it is also an increasingly troubled one. Around the globe it is frequently marked by failure, frustration and danger. Two weeks ago, ten members of a medical team from the Paris-based Doctors Without Borders were abducted by armed men from a Somalian refugee camp. In Africa, civil warfare blocks relief shipments to areas where hundreds of thousands are starving.

Female circumcision is considered a major health problem by an enlightened opinion who wants to give medical aid to Africa. Therefore, the Somalian delegate to the UN Conference for Women has made a film showing clitoridectomy and infibulation and SIDA has paid for copies. It was also shown at All Womens' House in Stockholm. I hope that this film will be shown at Harvard in spite of Dr. Counter's ridiculous protests...
