Incest In Africa

In Africa, 18 year old Sidonie is coping with random rape sessions with her uncle, withholding secrets from their family and having to care for "his" child. The subject of incest give birth to secrets and when a child is born, these secrets are again swept under the soul of the burden carriers. In a article published on the Radio Netherlands website, 18 year old Sidonie is coming to grips with her secrets and finally decides to open up during a group session with other victims of incest. She states, "How could I stay focused at school, knowing what I had to face once I get home? Throughout the day, every time I thought about what my uncle would force me to do in the evening, I lost my joie de vivre...I wish that all victims of this horrible practice would report the perpetrators so that they are severely punished".

Update: Chaz Bono

"I could get a phalloplasty, which builds the phallus from a donor site on your body, but I'm leaning more toward a metoidioplasty...It's a procedure that uses what you already have down there, which has grown larger from the testosterone. You end up with a smaller phallus than with the phalloplasty, but it's fully functional, it gets erect, and the sensation is all there...the surgery I want to have, I'd like to have the testicular implants and all of that, and I'd like to be able to urinate through it...I mean, it's not that big a deal to sit down, but some of the toilet seats in men's rooms are disgusting. The doctor I want to use is in Belgrade. It's going to be a little cheaper there. Probably $25,000, maybe $45,000, I really don't know." -- The hermaphrodite Chaz Bono (Chastity Bono) tells a Rolling Stone profile that he's preparing to undergo penile reconstruction surgery after he obtains enough funds to the cover cost. Chaz also shares that he's willing to travel overseas to spend less on the surgical procedure.
