Female mutilation has no cultural, no traditional and no religious aspect. It is a crime which seeks justice - Waris Dirie
As a girl/woman/mother/sister/daughter, the story of beautiful Waris Dirie will come as a shock to you. I had only heard about circumcision with regard to men who are Muslims. Until I read this article http://biography.jrank.org/pages/2958/Dirie-Waris.html A shocking practice carried out in Africa, putting women through misery, all in the name of religion.
Waris Dirie went on to become a super model and even featured in a James Bond movie in the ’80s. Here’s a more detailed description of her inspiring journey. A Reader’s Digest piece http://www.fgmnetwork.org/articles/Waris.html
These atrocities against women must stop.
Very touchy and inspiring story! it is outrageous that they follow such practices that can only make ones life miserable. All these should come to an end. Waris Dirie is a truly successful woman who has demonstrated and is still showing her brave act to the whole world! Kudos to her!
