Inaam died on December 6, 2005 in Sudan from severe infections following circumcision. Against her father's will, Inaam's grandmother brought her to a midwife to have her circumcised. The circumcision caused extensive bleeding, and an infection developed. By the time Inaam was brought to the hospital, it was too late and she died. This photograph shows Inaam in her bed after she died, with ceremonial henna on her hands.
