This movie makes my heart run fast, as i am watching it all comes back memories of my own story, as young girl in Mogadishu when the War began. I have lost my parents and a only brother and i was orphaned as the result. A year later trapped in the burning city hopeless and scared,me and some relatives who was caring for me finally got the chance to leave. We arrived in Kenya although I have never being in the refugee camp,I had terrible experience in Kenya, Kenya wasn't welcoming Country and the police were going door to door hunting immigrants, although i was living with family members who were Kenyan citizens, with no document in hand we scapped once more to South Africa, and lived there for 13 years,from there i immigrated to the United States,but recently came back to homeland Somalia 🇸🇴 So this's not a movie, but really and result of War torn people, it doesn't matter where they call home, war is terrible thing, may God help those who are in similar situations 🙏
I am Irish, from Dublin, & this film makes me proud of my people for our welcoming kindness. Truly the people who were there for Ifrah did a wonderful job of building her up with loving healthcare & educational support, but to me the most important gift they gave to Ifrah after all she had taken from her, was the fact that they listened to her & allowed her to speak ...they gave her a voice, a home & a purpose. 💚☘
Очень сильный фильм! Я очень надеюсь сейчас такие традиуии не практикуются даже в самых маленькии деревнях. Я как мусульманка знаю что в религии Ислам нет насилия. Но есть не образованные люди которые свои никчмные традиуии приравняли в религии ислам
I'm only 20 minutes into the movie and my face is already filled up with tears, knowing that some people really went through this in real life 😢 Lord have mercy, pray for healing to anyone whom has went through such or similar 🙏
I am writing from Kazakhstan 🇰🇿🇰🇿🇰🇿, I was very moved by the film to tears, I first learned about such a custom from the film “Desert Flower”, after watching it I realized what kind of torment the girls went through... I wish that all the girls in the world would never experience such pain...

Wow! Watching this on International Women's Day, how timely! Thank you Ifrah, champion for Women! I cried when you sobbed in that hospital. Truly nothing is by chance, or coincidence, Ifrah being taken to Ireland was ordained, which better country than Ireland to understand struggle, pain and healing? Thank you to those good men and women from Somalia to Ireland who helped so many pple from war torn countries, THANK YOU!.....thank you also to men and women around the world who stand up for humanity!.
I am Somalian guy I watch this movie as I’m writing this message. My eyes are full of tears. I’m really sorry to all Somali girls took me back when I was young boy in our motherland we can do so much to help girls Ifrah. I’m really glad you bought this movie.
I am from South Africa and I cannot relate to what young girls in Somalia go through; however I understand their pain. May all of them heal from the pain and trauma they went through. Love from a fellow African sister ❤
I skipped this movie 3 times, little did I know God kept popping it up my screen for a purpose. It has changed my perception on this topic. Thanks to this brave lady for being the voice for the voiceless.
Only who went through FGM type 3&4 can relate much to ifrah. I know how it feels been through the same had to run away with a child and seek asylum in Finland 🇫🇮. Thank you ifrah speaking for the voiceless such a phenomenal warm welcome from Ireland and Irish people 🫡.
I send to you and all of the girls who have suffered these inhumane mutilation all my love and I hope and pray Allah that he gives all of you good and happy life 🥹 sorry this happened to you and you’re a warrior !!

I found this movie very educative. My project in my final year was on FGMC in Nigeria. I liked that I did a project on it and just watching this brought back memories. Well done to the cast and crew and to Ifrah thank you for lending your voice for all Somalia 🇸🇴 women 🎉
Am literally crying 😭😭 Am a kenyan and my community had stopped FGM by the time I got to the age of going through it.But girls from other communities that had not yet stopped it were really going through a hard time during that time of FGM💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔
I’m so glad it didn’t happen to you. It doesn’t matter if I don’t know you. I’m a 59yr old Native American woman from North Carolina who hopes this practice comes to an end. But how do you convince those people who are rooted in their beliefs. I’ve seen what religion and ‘beliefs’ can cause. I’m not religious. Anymore. I don’t believe that crap that was FORCED upon me. Bless you and your family.

I am Somali, Female genital mutilation (FGM), which is a harmful practice that unfortunately still occurs in some communities in Somalia is true. It's important to raise awareness about this issue and work towards ending such harmful cultural practices which is even opposing Islamic teachings. Together we fight all bad cultures for happier life.
"Be the Voice Not the Victim" Congratulations Ifrah you have and did save our beautiful young sisters from lifetime scar and painful history. May God stand with you and guide you to your extra ordinary vision and mission against FGM. Proud of you "Ifrah Ahmed"
What a story! Just watched this today and focusing on the positives, Ifrah is one incredible woman who have gone on to do incredible work. Long may she continue to be a success story and go on to make a difference to other women in similar situations as she went through. What didn't break her made her stronger. From refugee to finding citizenship in Ireland. God took care of her all the way 👏🏾 👏🏾
The same thing happened to me really , I also cried that moment but what makes me worry and sad was when the guy who was with her brought her Ireland instead of where she thought she'd be taken. Really it's a heartbreaking movie
Am an African, and the tales that come alongside war, culture and tradition, is really tragic, I guess we are often plaque by the faults in our stars, as the myriad of our stories aligns to propel us to a greater height. A great story no doubt
Every Somali girl who has went through this and survived will forever live to live to tell the story this reminds of my childhood story almost similar but took place in Kenya I would never let my daughter or wish this on anyone it’s the most horrible experience ever 💔thank you ifrah for sharing this to the world on behalf of the silent majority 🫂
I'm glad to be a ghanaian 🇬🇭 based in Italy, this movie really got me 😢 I remember we learned a lot about it in sch as a lil girl but never thought it really existed 😢😢😢😢 God bless u all for this movie 😢 may God strengthen women that had to go through all this pain ❤
I was completely unaware of the topic and my brain got numb after watching this movie. What a brave, bold and fearless Ifrah to talk and act about it! Hats off!
This movie deeply moved me, bringing back memories of the challenging times in Mogadishu during the civil war. Ifrah's strength and resilience are truly inspiring for women everywhere. No matter what hardships you face, never give up. I hope you find the strength to overcome your experiences and remember that everything is temporary, not permanent. Fardowsa from Utah ❤️❤️❤️
What a story!! Credit to the guy who helped her out of Mohadishu all the way to Ireland. I would have loved him to support her cause and become a total hero, but that isn't the case, so sad. Ifrah, the girl from Mogadishu is a story of coming from grass to grace. I hope she's been able to visit her aunt in Minnesota she's such a nice woman.
It’s her uncle. I hope his help was genuine and from the heart. But there’s another theory, In Somalia when a girl gets r_ed either the family send her away as far as they can or marry her off to her r_pist quickly, to avoid rumours spreading and protect the family’s name and reputation
Like everyone else I almost skipped this great movie. I'm glad I finally watched it. Ifra you are great. This practice sha. Can't even imagine the pain
I'm watching the movie right now from South Africa. I paused and read comments with teary eyes hoping this is just a movie. Luckily we have no experience of war. NO ONE will touch my 2 beautiful daughters.
went through fgm when i was 6 yrs with razor blade too 😢 remembering it makes me cry .i was raised my grandma and she said it was traditional to do that i remember it was me and my sister and several other girls in our neighborhood.i remember the first girl they cut she was overbleeding coz she was cutted in a wrong way . some women holding us down to be cutted screaming with pain .they poured some herb there and they tied our legs together. and i was in the same condition as that girl who didn't pee remembering my smotach getting bigger and coz peeing was very very painful 😢and that ends with me never letting my daughters go through what i went through
Im from Uganda,,I feel sad and sorry to know ladies out there have to go through pain that is tougher and more horrific than the dying process itself.May your souls be percified and your lives blessed to save the future generations to come.
I'm very glad to watch this movie. Thank you Madam Ifrah Ahmed for speaking for the voiceless. I'm Asumah Ibn Sulayman from Ghana 🇬🇭. May Allah protect our female girls from FGM 🙏
I have been crying watching this movie. I am Nigerian and I have never experienced this. I pray God heals all broken hearts. I am proud of the people who took her in without questioning. I can't imagine people going through what she went through in her locality
What a roller coaster of emotions for me. I am not Somalian but i can relate to her story. it is very vivid. The physical pain at 14 years and the emotional pain and fear that has followed me all through my adult life. it has made me cry a lot. i am hopeful that these tears will dry one day
No eres lo que te hicieron, deja que salgan de tu mente y tu corazón y sé libre de recuerdos, tristezas y llantos, deja que ellos se lleven lo que plantaron en ti y reinicia bonito, háblate bonito, porque eres grandeza, eres creación perfecta, eres preciosa, eres hija de Dios dotada de dones y talentos maravillosos. Te abrazo y te animo a pensar en los planes de bienestar que Dios tiene para ti, Jeremías 29:11, te animo a seguir siendo valiente porque Dios está contigo. Isaías 41:10 Avanza mujer, eres capaz y puedes lograr todo lo que pienses. Una vez más, te abrazo.
Watching this from Johannesburg & Medical Doctor! I saw a whole ward of women at Kilimanjaro Christian Medical Centre who were being treated for complications of Female Genital Mutilation in the 1990’s! To even think Gambia has reversed their stance to reintroduce this ghastly culture practice 🥺! A great film, deeply informative .
I’m from Kazakhstan 🇰🇿 and have been living in such an amazing country Ireland for 3 years. This is truly a powerful and inspiring story that brought me to tears. I wish that no woman in the world ever experiences such violence and that their rights are never trampled.❤
My beloved uncle died for Covid 19. he took care of us when we were in Kenya. his kids and my extended family live in Kenya and I hope one day they come to US.
Wow, thank you IFTRAH for advocating for other women out there. Great job to everyone who made it possible for this movie to exist. God bless you all. Much love❤️ from Zambia 🇿🇲
Her picture caught my attention but I ignored the first. But since then I told myself I must this movie. I’ve learned a lot in this movie. I couldn’t hold my tears. How we humans can be so cruel to each other. I can only imagine the pain of FGMC. Thanks for standing and fighting this so cold culture. May God open the eyes of the people to chose the culture that doesn’t destroys the lives of others. May we love, care for one another. We need peace to reign in the countries.
What’s it like in those camps? I’m sorry to ask. I’ve seen pictures and thousands of people were just sitting on the ground, some holding their starving children. We Americans, even the poorest of us, should never complain about anything. Damn. 😞
Wow! I’m so glad her skirt hem didn’t get caught in the escalator. I remember the first time I ever stepped on one, in Chicago O’Hare. I was terrified being from a small farm in the middle of nowhere. My nerves are tore up watching this movie.
I nearly didnt watch this movie but am so glad I did, What a truly inspiring girl Ifrah was and is. Am so glad you are continuing to spread the word of FGM and the evil it is for the girls. I have signed many petitions to stop this evil practice but never actually had a 100% understanding to the extent they cut and mutilate these young girls. Thank you for posting
En otros videos hay jóvenes que dan su testimonio de lo que les hicieron y dijeron que a veces cortan poco yotras todo ,el clitoris labios menores y labios mayores,solo a las niñas que les ha pasado saben su sufrimiento,pero las que ya son madres de una u otra manera dicen que también se lo harán a sus hijas pues es su cultura y por cierto una muy bárbara.
Сколько можно мучать этот народ???😭💔 Какое счастье, что она спаслась из этого ужаса 🙏 Варварские обряды ((((( Красивая девушка ) Мира и счастья в вашей стране ❤🕊🇦🇲🇷🇺
Hello Ifrah im watching from the Philippines 🇵🇭..Thanks a million for sharing your stories with us..Im so proud of what you did on how to stop this FGM for the generations to come..Never regrets crying while watching..
Inspirational story from unrepresented women in Africa. hats off to your courage Ifrah for fighting this negative cultural practice of FGM. I salute you my sister.
To people who have been victims of war and FGM and lost dear ones as a result of war just know we love you and you're strong. I hope one day we would join you in a campaign to stop FGM in communities still practicing it. I cried watching this masterpiece and reality.

It takes one individual that has had enough to make a change and say NO to every form of injustice or evil...Decide to be that Change today, that one individual. God bless IFRAH AHMED.
We need more women shedding light on more issues like this. Movies that truly educate and influence the viewers positively are very few. Glad I didn’t skip this
The movie is based on a true story and it's about every story and every pain the Somali people go through 1990 to date. More so the female gender. May Allah give peace to Somalia and it's people. Thanks Ifrah for showcasing to the world the happenings in Somali. You did it pro Bono and for the love of your people.
Am sure many many girls like me couldnt hold back their tears when they watch Ifrah Ifrah spoke for all of us those who went through fgm😭 We need girls like her in our society❤

The best movie i have ever watched....im from Namibia in Africa,learning about this culture through the movie yoh my heart aches and my tears can't stop rolling💔great movie indeed
This is so traumatic for a female child. Hope this FGM Law will thoroughly be implemented throughout the land of Somalia. Thank you, Ifrah for standing for it! 👍💖💛💚💜
The movie made me cried cos I remembered my somali friends. We talked about the topic but not so deep to understand FGM to this extend. Then I see it as a normal thing cos it is also practiced in my country. Now i understand it's effect after watching the movie. I wish I had watched it when I was close to both my somali female friends and Nigerians.
To find yourself in Dublin Ireland when you thought you are in Minnesota USA must have been a crazy moment for the young girl who had gone through a lot already. What a story!!!
Ireland country and Irish people I l❤ve their tradition and culture. The Irish citizens are very hospitable and kind. I salute to the brave Somalian girl.watching from the Philippines❤️🇵🇭
I was moved to tears while watching this, I could only imagine the pain they went through. FGM is a very harmful practice which should be abolished totally and I pray it never has to be done on any girl child again, I love the awareness this movie gives.
In fact, this movie has a very strong feeling. I had to watch it for three days, and every day I had to stop watching it first. cry tears of sadness and happiness. I have finished watching this film with a new perspective that everyone in their community should be the catalyst for positive change.
Am so super proud of you gurl❤I also when through FGM when I was young in the Gambia, watching these movies makes me cry 😢am so super proud of you girl🎉I love u soo much ❤loved from canada 🎉
I just finished watching the movie! Thanks for sharing sucj important story to be known. I had a roller coster of feelings and was afraid that may someone harm or kill her when she went back to Mogadishu. Thanks Ifrah for turning your pain into an inspiring story. You are such a warrior. May God bless you and help you in each step. Greetings from Egypt
Me too skipped this movie many times and watched today in Mothers day, feel regret for all peoples in places where war destroyed everything and everyone, so saf story😢😢God plz save peoles 🤲
What’s a great informative masterpiece, I am from Congo 🇨🇩, and I was never aware of FGM and I was shocked when I first learned about FGM. Hope it’s not happening ever again.
Attention spoiler: ne pas lire avant de visionner. Très très beau film triste et plein d'espoir : une jeune fille quitte son pays en guerre ....et s'ensuit le combat d'1 vie. Bravo à elle, à ceux qui l'ont soutenu. Courage à celles qui vivent encore cela.
This movie makes my heart run fast, as i am watching it all comes back memories of my own story, as young girl in Mogadishu when the War began. I have lost my parents and a only brother and i was orphaned as the result.
A year later trapped in the burning city hopeless and scared,me and some relatives who was caring for me finally got the chance to leave.
We arrived in Kenya although I have never being in the refugee camp,I had terrible experience in Kenya, Kenya wasn't welcoming Country and the police were going door to door hunting immigrants, although i was living with family members who were Kenyan citizens, with no document in hand we scapped once more to South Africa, and lived there for 13 years,from there i immigrated to the United States,but recently came back to homeland Somalia 🇸🇴
So this's not a movie, but really and result of War torn people, it doesn't matter where they call home, war is terrible thing, may God help those who are in similar situations 🙏

Every Somali girl who has went through this and survived will forever live to live to tell the story this reminds of my childhood story almost similar but took place in Kenya I would never let my daughter or wish this on anyone it’s the most horrible experience ever 💔thank you ifrah for sharing this to the world on behalf of the silent majority 🫂
This is exactly what I am fighting here in Kenya ...The Girl child must be protected 😊
❤❤
What?!😮 girls suffer from the cutting in Kenya too?
Yes they do...in some parts of Kenya and especially in the rural areas.
I'm glad to be a ghanaian 🇬🇭 based in Italy, this movie really got me 😢 I remember we learned a lot about it in sch as a lil girl but never thought it really existed 😢😢😢😢 God bless u all for this movie 😢 may God strengthen women that had to go through all this pain ❤
Amen 🤲🏽
💯👌
Lmao you are proud because you got house of Ghana
It exist in Ghana. I am from Northern Ghana. And it exist here
@@salwaissah3131 I NEVER knew
I was completely unaware of the topic and my brain got numb after watching this movie. What a brave, bold and fearless Ifrah to talk and act about it! Hats off!
Just I watch this movie I’m so crying 😭 I feel sory to my brother and sister in Somali I’m from Philippines 🇵🇭 live in London
Thanks ❤
❤❤
Thanks ❤
I am from ethiopia 🇪🇹 but thank you for the awareness Ifrah, you are a HERO to representing all your somalian sisters. God bless you.
Thank you 😊❤ our neighbors ❤❤
You are aware this happens in Ethiopian as well.
الله يبعد عنكم الشر ويحفظكم 😢
This movie deeply moved me, bringing back memories of the challenging times in Mogadishu during the civil war. Ifrah's strength and resilience are truly inspiring for women everywhere. No matter what hardships you face, never give up. I hope you find the strength to overcome your experiences and remember that everything is temporary, not permanent. Fardowsa from Utah ❤️❤️❤️
What a story!! Credit to the guy who helped her out of Mohadishu all the way to Ireland. I would have loved him to support her cause and become a total hero, but that isn't the case, so sad. Ifrah, the girl from Mogadishu is a story of coming from grass to grace. I hope she's been able to visit her aunt in Minnesota she's such a nice woman.
Brother
The guy who sent her in Ireland had a pure heart.
It’s her uncle. I hope his help was genuine and from the heart. But there’s another theory, In Somalia when a girl gets r_ed either the family send her away as far as they can or marry her off to her r_pist quickly, to avoid rumours spreading and protect the family’s name and reputation
Like everyone else I almost skipped this great movie. I'm glad I finally watched it. Ifra you are great. This practice sha. Can't even imagine the pain
What a fascinating story of IFRAH. long live Africa ❤❤❤❤❤ from Nigeria 🇳🇬 with love
God bless everyone who was part of the production of this film. loved the story. form Mozambique
I'm watching the movie right now from South Africa. I paused and read comments with teary eyes hoping this is just a movie. Luckily we have no experience of war. NO ONE will touch my 2 beautiful daughters.
But it is a true story😢
Cheers 🍻 🥂 to those of us who read comments while the movie ❤
Any Ghanaian here 🇬🇭🥰😍
Present please ❤
I am here
Here we are😊
I am here
Yep😁
went through fgm when i was 6 yrs with razor blade too 😢 remembering it makes me cry .i was raised my grandma and she said it was traditional to do that i remember it was me and my sister and several other girls in our neighborhood.i remember the first girl they cut she was overbleeding coz she was cutted in a wrong way . some women holding us down to be cutted screaming with pain .they poured some herb there and they tied our legs together. and i was in the same condition as that girl who didn't pee remembering my smotach getting bigger and coz peeing was very very painful 😢and that ends with me never letting my daughters go through what i went through
Im from Uganda,,I feel sad and sorry to know ladies out there have to go through pain that is tougher and more horrific than the dying process itself.May your souls be percified and your lives blessed to save the future generations to come.
А зачем вообще это делают девочкам ?
I’m so sorry 😞😞😞
So sorry for the pain 😢
😢
I'm very glad to watch this movie. Thank you Madam Ifrah Ahmed for speaking for the voiceless. I'm Asumah Ibn Sulayman from Ghana 🇬🇭. May Allah protect our female girls from FGM 🙏
I have been crying watching this movie. I am Nigerian and I have never experienced this. I pray God heals all broken hearts. I am proud of the people who took her in without questioning. I can't imagine people going through what she went through in her locality
No sister this is only movie I have been living in somalia whole my life, absolutely this movie is fake
@@gacalofficial4237it's not fake it's true stories
Its you who doesn't know whats happening in your environment @@gacalofficial4237
this move is true I'm from somali
despite being late I watch this film I cry long live the Somalis and all Africa I am Congo 🇨🇩
I kept on skipping this movie everyday untill today I decided to tap on it ,it's one in a million walahy😊
😂😂😂me too. See am forced to watch it now
Me too
Me too😊
Me three 😂
Thought I was the only one
What a roller coaster of emotions for me. I am not Somalian but i can relate to her story. it is very vivid. The physical pain at 14 years and the emotional pain and fear that has followed me all through my adult life. it has made me cry a lot. i am hopeful that these tears will dry one day
May tears dry soon for all the girls and women at risk.
I don't know how much pain you must have felt, but as a woman, this is not right. I'm so sorry you underwent FGM.❤❤
❤❤❤, may the Lord God comfort your heart.
No eres lo que te hicieron, deja que salgan de tu mente y tu corazón y sé libre de recuerdos, tristezas y llantos, deja que ellos se lleven lo que plantaron en ti y reinicia bonito, háblate bonito, porque eres grandeza, eres creación perfecta, eres preciosa, eres hija de Dios dotada de dones y talentos maravillosos. Te abrazo y te animo a pensar en los planes de bienestar que Dios tiene para ti, Jeremías 29:11, te animo a seguir siendo valiente porque Dios está contigo. Isaías 41:10 Avanza mujer, eres capaz y puedes lograr todo lo que pienses. Una vez más, te abrazo.
Watching this from Johannesburg & Medical Doctor! I saw a whole ward of women at Kilimanjaro Christian Medical Centre who were being treated for complications of Female Genital Mutilation in the 1990’s! To even think Gambia has reversed their stance to reintroduce this ghastly culture practice 🥺! A great film, deeply informative .
I’m from Kazakhstan 🇰🇿 and have been living in such an amazing country Ireland for 3 years.
This is truly a powerful and inspiring story that brought me to tears. I wish that no woman in the world ever experiences such violence and that their rights are never trampled.❤
Writing form Nigeria this is so heartbreaking 😢😢😢😢 praying for peace in all African
Watching from South Africa🇿🇦, this is a beautiful and inspiring movie. Amazing work done by the most phenomenal woman❤
me gave know yes father aeroplane south africa 🇿🇦 yes happy😊❤
have yes
Watching from Bangladesh🇧🇩
This movie got me teary, first for the pain then for the victory in the end. A beautiful movie. I am inspired by this.
My beloved uncle died for Covid 19. he took care of us when we were in Kenya. his kids and my extended family live in Kenya and I hope one day they come to US.
So sorry dear
Wow, thank you IFTRAH for advocating for other women out there. Great job to everyone who made it possible for this movie to exist. God bless you all.
Much love❤️ from Zambia 🇿🇲
Her picture caught my attention but I ignored the first. But since then I told myself I must this movie.
I’ve learned a lot in this movie.
I couldn’t hold my tears. How we humans can be so cruel to each other.
I can only imagine the pain of FGMC.
Thanks for standing and fighting this so cold culture. May God open the eyes of the people to chose the culture that doesn’t destroys the lives of others.
May we love, care for one another. We need peace to reign in the countries.
This story touched my heart. Although I left somalia at a young age to Dadaab refugee camp, I can still relate everything. 😢😢😢
Abyo miya qiso sounds okle kugu dhacdy😢
@@ZeeraaZeeraa xaliimo naga aamusa nacala idin dhale
What’s it like in those camps? I’m sorry to ask. I’ve seen pictures and thousands of people were just sitting on the ground, some holding their starving children. We Americans, even the poorest of us, should never complain about anything. Damn. 😞
Wow! I’m so glad her skirt hem didn’t get caught in the escalator. I remember the first time I ever stepped on one, in Chicago O’Hare. I was terrified being from a small farm in the middle of nowhere. My nerves are tore up watching this movie.
I nearly didnt watch this movie but am so glad I did, What a truly inspiring girl Ifrah was and is. Am so glad you are continuing to spread the word of FGM and the evil it is for the girls. I have signed many petitions to stop this evil practice but never actually had a 100% understanding to the extent they cut and mutilate these young girls. Thank you for posting
En otros videos hay jóvenes que dan su testimonio de lo que les hicieron y dijeron que a veces cortan poco yotras todo ,el clitoris labios menores y labios mayores,solo a las niñas que les ha pasado saben su sufrimiento,pero las que ya son madres de una u otra manera dicen que también se lo harán a sus hijas pues es su cultura y por cierto una muy bárbara.

Какое счастье, что она спаслась из этого ужаса 🙏
Варварские обряды (((((

Мира и счастья в вашей стране ❤🕊🇦🇲🇷🇺
это не обряды.
это реалии жизни.
и мир не везде враждебный..
This movie makes me quite emotional. Thank you Ifrah, a very brave girl from Somalia.
I cried hearing what happens to our fellow sisters from Somalia i pray this rituals to end from Uganda 🇺🇬 here working in Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦
Hello Ifrah im watching from the Philippines 🇵🇭..Thanks a million for sharing your stories with us..Im so proud of what you did on how to stop this FGM for the generations to come..Never regrets crying while watching..
At a point i couldn't stop myself from crying. What Ifrah did was being a voice for many more girls and women out there. She set a good example.
Inspirational story from unrepresented women in Africa. hats off to your courage Ifrah for fighting this negative cultural practice of FGM. I salute you my sister.
To people who have been victims of war and FGM and lost dear ones as a result of war just know we love you and you're strong. I hope one day we would join you in a campaign to stop FGM in communities still practicing it.
I cried watching this masterpiece and reality.
So do I...
i am from kyrgyzstan, i am watching from moscow, ifra has saved the future of girls and religiоn.
I am proud of you for standing up for what is right my sister.
Such a splendid job! thanks to Ifrah. I joined my voice to the voices of millions of women and young girls around the world and says NO to FGM!
One thing this movie has taught is life,always works out and everything happens for a reason ❤😢
Ифра омирде киын жолдардан откен екенсин. Тагдырын солай жазган шыгар. Бирак сен кайратты кыз екенинди далелдедин. Алла сенин багынды ашын. Озгенин басына келмесин, саган комектескен жандарг Рахмет! Асалаумаликум! Казахстан 🇰🇿
This is deep, really deep!
Watchin this on July 16th 2024... So much love from Kenya🇰🇪
Am from Kenya and for sure Ifrah you are a heroine and a super woman ,much love
Not me watching this on International women's day❤We need more Ifrahs in our society.. God bless her
Happy Women's day,the resilience in ifrah is what we celebrating today!! Let's keep pushing.
Wow me too
Am also watching it right now
Same here😊
Same❤
It takes one individual that has had enough to make a change and say NO to every form of injustice or evil...Decide to be that Change today, that one individual. God bless IFRAH AHMED.
طوال الفيلم وأنا أفكر فيما يحدث الآن في أخواتنا وإخواننا الفلسطينيين والسودانيين كان الله في عونهم 💔
We need more women shedding light on more issues like this. Movies that truly educate and influence the viewers positively are very few. Glad I didn’t skip this
The movie is based on a true story and it's about every story and every pain the Somali people go through 1990 to date. More so the female gender. May Allah give peace to Somalia and it's people. Thanks Ifrah for showcasing to the world the happenings in Somali. You did it pro Bono and for the love of your people.
Am sure many many girls like me couldnt hold back their tears when they watch Ifrah
Ifrah spoke for all of us those who went through fgm😭
We need girls like her in our society❤
You mean it's still going on?
@@princesswaprinceis still going on even In Gambia they're still practicing it
Which country you are from?

Mkhaya🇿🇦
How lucky we are not having such culture.This movie made me cry
Watching from South Africa 🇿🇦, may God comfort you and others who are casualties of war caused by men
Thank you Ifrah! You are one of the most amazing humans on Earth!
IFRAH your voice touch my heart and make me cry alot too
Because am also a victim of FGM and i know d pain and trauma too i went through because of FGM
But now i know better
Am from sierra Leone
It shall be well
God heals all wounds. Sorry sister
❤🙏🏾
The best movie i have ever watched....im from Namibia in Africa,learning about this culture through the movie yoh my heart aches and my tears can't stop rolling💔great movie indeed
Much love from Zim🇿🇼 this movie is so touching all thanks to Ifrah❤
This is so traumatic for a female child. Hope this FGM Law will thoroughly be implemented throughout the land of Somalia. Thank you, Ifrah for standing for it! 👍💖💛💚💜
The movie made me cried cos I remembered my somali friends. We talked about the topic but not so deep to understand FGM to this extend. Then I see it as a normal thing cos it is also practiced in my country. Now i understand it's effect after watching the movie. I wish I had watched it when I was close to both my somali female friends and Nigerians.
I just started watching it and in the first 10 minutes or so tears are running down my face 😢😭😭
From Mexico, sending my prayers and high wishes of peace to all who are facing such challenges shown in the film. ❤
Побольше бы миру таких девушек как Ифра, восхищает и вдохновляет. Мира во всём мире, добра и счастья.🙏🙏👏👏👏👏💯
To find yourself in Dublin Ireland when you thought you are in Minnesota USA must have been a crazy moment for the young girl who had gone through a lot already. What a story!!!
Ireland country and Irish people I l❤ve their tradition and culture. The Irish citizens are very hospitable and kind. I salute to the brave Somalian girl.watching from the Philippines❤️🇵🇭
Yeah ❤❤
I was moved to tears while watching this, I could only imagine the pain they went through. FGM is a very harmful practice which should be abolished totally and I pray it never has to be done on any girl child again, I love the awareness this movie gives.
Beautiful story, well acted, and a proud girl from Somali called Ifrah❤❤
My friend, is this a beautiful story or bad story?
In fact, this movie has a very strong feeling. I had to watch it for three days, and every day I had to stop watching it first. cry tears of sadness and happiness. I have finished watching this film with a new perspective that everyone in their community should be the catalyst for positive change.
Am so super proud of you gurl❤I also when through FGM when I was young in the Gambia, watching these movies makes me cry 😢am so super proud of you girl🎉I love u soo much ❤loved from canada 🎉
This is the best ever movie I have watched today🥰

I just finished watching the movie! Thanks for sharing sucj important story to be known.
I had a roller coster of feelings and was afraid that may someone harm or kill her when she went back to Mogadishu.
Thanks Ifrah for turning your pain into an inspiring story. You are such a warrior.
May God bless you and help you in each step.
Greetings from Egypt
I cried all through the movie, for different reasons ofcourse but finally i was so happy for those beautiful young souls. THEY WIN WIN WIN
Me too skipped this movie many times and watched today in Mothers day, feel regret for all peoples in places where war destroyed everything and everyone, so saf story😢😢God plz save peoles 🤲
What’s a great informative masterpiece, I am from Congo 🇨🇩, and I was never aware of FGM and I was shocked when I first learned about FGM. Hope it’s not happening ever again.
Attention spoiler: ne pas lire avant de visionner.
Très très beau film triste et plein d'espoir : une jeune fille quitte son pays en guerre ....et s'ensuit le combat d'1 vie.
Bravo à elle, à ceux qui l'ont soutenu.
Courage à celles qui vivent encore cela.
