Across Africa, scarification has long been practiced as a form of body art and cultural identity. Using carefully cut patterns on the skin, tribes create bold designs that serve as marks of beauty, strength, and belonging. Each scar tells a story—whether it’s about family lineage, social status, or rites of passage. For many communities, these scars are not wounds but symbols of pride, turning the body into a living canvas of tradition. | Unrestricted Borders

More than 200 million girls and women mostly from Africa have undergone female genital mutilation according to the World Health Organization (WHO). In 2019, UNFPA estimated $95 is needed to protect a girl in one of the 30 countries where female circumcision is considered a tradition. Most donors today have sidestepped the issue because they think it’s too difficult and somehow not central to realizing gender equality. | DW Africa
