A Cut Below: The Victims Of Genital Cutting Speak Out
Over 200 million women are living with the consequences of female genital cutting, a horrific practice that is not limited to remote villages in distant places. As European countries institute prevention policies, UN experts fear more girls could be sent away to be mutilated. They also fear an increase in backstreet operations on European territory. Aicha, Omayma and Fatou have agreed to tell their stories. Dignified and courageous, they break the silence on an ancestral custom that remains a strictly taboo subject in many communities, where those who dare to speak publicly lay themselves open to threats.
