#nofgm thread
when they finished mutilating me. My voice was gone from screaming. My body was raging with pain. I couldn't open my eyes. After all, I prayed so hard to die because I couldn't cope with the pain. All this only this see the age of 6yrs. I can still smell my bood
I felt everything. My body was on fire. I felt as if it was lit up from head to toe. Every part of the body was in pain. My flesh on the floor coated with sand. The cutter's hands look like she dipped in red paint. The nightmare is too much.
How is this happening to me. How are my screams ignored? How am I still alive? Pain just keeps on consuming me. It doesn't stop. It's constant. I am utterly exhausted. Death would feel better I tell myself. The hut stunk of blood.
The dun starts to peak through the Horror Hut. Everything smells bad. I hated going with my mom to the butcher shop. Today I felt I was butchered mercilessly. I feel hurt, confused and I don't know who too look at
My eyes can't bare to look at my mother. I can't cry anymore. I whimper, my pain too great. I feel so alone and unloved. My world ended within seconds. Replaced by fear, u trusting, and trauma is setting in. Just 6yrs all this

##nofgm thread ,trigger warning
I stand in front of young people and talk about FGM. I don't hide anything from them, nor do I shy away from any questions they have . I am a survivor of FGM
I was mutilated when I was tender at the age of 6 years. I was held down by those I loved and trusted and got butchered alive. They yanked my dress and pulled my legs apart so hard that I thought they were removing legs.
When it happened that morning, I changed my life. That morning, I was exposed to horrific trauma . The old took dirty razors and proceeded in mutilating me. No anaesthetic at all. She pull my clitoris with her nails that were super long.
#nofgm I am a survivor who have dedicated to end one of the worst forms of child abuse on earth. This is called Female genital mutilation aka FGM
#nofgm God willing I will be 54
years this October. I remember
bern held down. I remember dirty
razors. I remember the first cut
how my body raged with sharp,
shooting pain went through me.
I remember how I begged for
mercy. I remember seeing my flesh on the floor.
As 6yr girl. I experienced
butchery that changed my
life.That butchery still haunts
me. The butchery is robbing
innocent girls' lives every day.
Over 200 million women & girls
experienced Fgm. One of the
worst forms of child abuse on
earth.
