LAS VEGAS, May 15 /PRNewswire/ — Following the announcement made by Dr. Lankonade, OBGYN in Burkina Faso, stating that women and children of all ages who have suffered the indignation and torture of clitoral excise (the equivalent of male castration in its barbarity) now have the chance to regain sexual pleasure and once again be whole thanks to medical advances and the progression of science, RAEL, spiritual leader of the Raelian Movement, decided to help as many women as possible to regain their sense of pleasure and founded CLITORAID, a private non-profit organization that will sponsor those who want to have their clitoris rebuilt.

Clitoraid’s “Adopt a Clitoris” program creates real, lasting changes for women who had been forced to experience clitoral excise against their will. To recreate the female clitoris, a local anesthetic is applied so that no pain is experienced when the surgeon uncovers the root left after the mutilation, which will become the new clitoris. It takes six weeks to completely heal from the procedure, with sexual pleasure and genetic normalcy being the end result.

The cost of the operation is $500 (US), which is what some African women would earn in two year’s salary. They need help. Clitoraid’s ambition is to help all women who are dreaming to be whole again. By adopting a clitoris in part or in full, people can not only help a woman return to her original form, which was taken from her by primitive and barbaric means, but it will also be fundamental in the cease and desist of clitoral mutilation in the future! This must end!

Banemanie, a Raelian Bishop-Guide in Burkina Faso was among the first women to experience the operation and discover her new sense of pleasure. Her profoundly moving testimony is available on http://www.clitoraid.org

The promotion of this action will be done by all regional antennas of the Raelian Movement around the world and any organization who wants to join our efforts. The first promotion will take place in Las Vegas this coming Wednesday, when the hundreds of participants in the Raelian seminar given by Rael (spiritual leader) will organize a massive fund raising downtown in order to help these women financially.
