Circumcision is conducted for medical reasons to prevent penile cancer. FGM is conducted to possess the female as if she is property. Big big big difference.
Thank you Nimco for sharing your story. You are a beacon of light and I hope you live the rest of your life in a peaceful and loving environment and are never harmed again. XOX From Ireland
It’s a very important issue. Not many know about it. I learned of it many years ago & have tried to support stopping it however I’m able. (Ie. Reading, donating, signing petitions, etc.)
What a formidable woman! I have many friends from different parts of Africa, Caribbean etc, both men and woman, and the disgust of this is SO high and it should have never been made a thing. Sadly, like terrorism it’s the minority and not the majority, this is a disgrace. I’m so glad she is alive and well as sadly many never survive this act. Glad she’s speaking out against such horrific crimes.
A person I know very well told me she went to see a doctor in east London about a gynaecological problem and the female doctor abused her verbally about her genitalia and suggested she needed to be rid of what was there. I was shocked to think a doctor was humiliating her and suggesting she needed to be changed.
I went to an all female college attended by women from all corners of the world. Most of my classes involved difficult conversations. No conversation was taboo, no conversation was forbidden. Racism, slavery and the slave trade, native peoples and history, globalism and global issues, colonialism. AND the horrors the US has committed here and around the world. I sat next to a young woman whose father was president of a country. FGM is known about, talked about and is part of the fight for women and our freedom, bodily autonomy, and equality. Nimco is an amazingly brave and beautiful woman. We in the US are fighting for our bodily autonomy right now in the coming election. #KAMALA2024
Listen well young lady to your own words. You keep repeating them. You knew it WAS WRONG. Then so did your MOTHER! Wake up. Don't try to tell other women that your mother couldn't stop it. We mother's know the truth; yes she could have stopped it.
Because they are now for men that live their lives pretending to be women! Actuall women aren't interesting enough! The sacred body of a person that brings new life to this world,isn't interesting enough!
Are you an expert on what the feminist community does and does not call out? I took classes in college ranging from history to sociology to gender studies courses and my professors all talked about it. Plenty of people talk about it
@@loganobrien6731 so you took courses for things that someone made up just to gain a profit? Congratulations,you are now expert in made up,twisted bullshit! You are oficialy indoctrinated and brainwashed!
@@loganobrien6731 feminists are bunch of hipocrytes,they cheer for men that live their lives wearing womanhood as a costume but actuall woman are pushed to the side! There is nothing more sacred than a woman,a person that brings new life to this world! We need mothers and fathers,grandmas and grandfathers,we need stable family unit,we don't need brainwashing and indoctrination! We go trough natural body change when having a baby,we go trough pain when we give birth to a brand new human but a man puts a skirt,high heels and make up and there is nothing more important than him!
I don't understand why she says that this is a global problem? We don't do it in the UK, they don't do it in Europe, it is at specific areas of the world that this cruel act is being done...
It does happen in the UK. Families from these countries where FGM is normalised, they move to UK and mainland Europe, and they carry it out on their girls. It is illegal, but that doesn't stop it happening, it just means a medical professional cannot carry out these procedures (but that's irrelevant, since it is often done by older women in the community who have no medical training). It would also mean a nurse/doctor has to report it when they encounter a patient with FGM.
Please educate yourself before commenting. Primary school teachers know to look out for this.. they know to hear if a girl says she has a “special event” coming up or is going away for a few weeks. It happens it’s just not spoken about
Here's how you can support Nimco's flight to end FGM:
thefivefoundation.org
In my country FGM is illegal but male genital mutilation is not. They should both be outlawed.
Yes. People need to accept that God didn't make mistakes....what they think should be removed are features not bugs. We are intelligently designed
I totally agree. It is not ok to mutilate any child for any reason
Bless you

Grace and compassion! I am with you. ❤
You’re such a warrior! Thank you for sharing ❤
You are so brave to get through this. Blessings to you ❤
Absolutely diabolical!

A mother that allows this to happen to her children is not a mother but a monster. I will never ever speak to my family again.

Sometimes it's done or arranged by family members when the mother isn't there.
It's totally legal in the United States.

That's horrific. But why isn't the feminist community calling this out ?
Not many are aware of FGM. And many assume it’s part of a cultural issue so they don’t want to interfere.
Because they are now for men that live their lives pretending to be women! Actuall women aren't interesting enough! The sacred body of a person that brings new life to this world,isn't interesting enough!
