I’m glad more Somali women are speaking up against this. Hopefully more can come forward without fear of being shamed. This is a barbaric practice that needs to stop, I also don’t see the issue op?

Bcs we have ridiculous high rates if not the highest in the whole world. So it makes more sense if we speak on it more. Use ur brain.

The shame of being known as genital mutilating barbarians is what’s gonna stop somali men from refusing “unclean” & “uncut” women.

Alhamdulilah, spread the word. May this practice end.

One of the first things i am planning to add to my social reforms section of my manifesto is to ban dated practices such as fgm

The thing that surprises me the most that that people say that the town will bully/ humiliate you if you don't do this procedure. How tf do people even know if you got it done or not?! is gossip so strong in somalia that people even know what the hell is going on in a woman's privates?!

From what my hooyo told me if u r a disapora they will 100% know u haven’t been cut. But since you get ur legs bound when the procedure is done, you will be off for a couple of days to heal so most ppl will know why u r absent.

Look no further than the cow ring on her nose.watch the bakti gather and invent traumatic fantasy to gain clout.
I'm done with *believe women*.

I’m in support for raising awareness but wouldn’t it be more effective for her to use Somali tiktok speaking to locals then speaking English to a majority white woman audience ?

You mean to tell me that they track to see if a girl has been gone for a couple of days from her birth to age 6-7 years (this is the average age that I heard this procedure take place)?

The cow ring looks like some Geeljire is gonna buy her as cattle.
Don't understand why some people do it

Even if she was making it up like you profess it is a reality many somali women face. The fact my own hooyo can’t walk bcs of the pain the procedure caused her is a testament of that. Aabhaa was u fucking garaac.

This is a matriarchal practice. It was started by women, enforced by women, done by women and done to women.

This is my stance. No foreigner cares for FGM in Somalia like that. This is Somali buisness. Ajnabis only use it against us to berate us. Somalis sharing these stories to foreigners makes no sense. If they aren’t the doctor doing revisions they don’t need to know.
