##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.

#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.

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.
