'I screamed so loud the woman could not contain my voice' one woman's story of FGM

Activist and campaigner Sarian Kamara recounts her experience of female genital mutation and explains why women are the key to ending the practice by 2030. At least 200 million women and girls across the world are thought to have undergone FGM. The practice is common in at least 30 countries and is most prevalent in Africa. According to estimates by the World Health Organisation, a further 3 million girls are at risk of undergoing female genital mutilation every year, however, anti-FGC activists such as Sarian Kamara are working to change that. FGM involves removing and damaging female genital tissue and it has lasting mental and physical repercussions for the women who have undergone it. The procedure is performed on girls and babies, most commonly before puberty.
