Through the guidance of these survivors, we have grown to understand that Female Genital Mutilation isn’t just a singular event; it is part of a greater cycle of oppression with devastating, life-long physical and psychological consequences. Ending FGM and supporting those affected requires the energy of women and men of all communities.
