Summary

[edit]
Description

Mother-of-three Asseta was cut when she was 7 years old. “I was told there was some eggs to eat – so me and my friends rushed over. But when we got there, there was blood all over the floor from other girls. It was very difficult – being cut was an event I will never forget.”

After peer education in her village, Asseta and her husband decided not to cut their 13-year-old daughter, Fatmata. “I hope my daughter will have good health, and I hope she will do the same for her daughters and avoid cutting.”

The UK is working to reduce the practice of FGM/C by 30% in at least 10 countries in Africa in the next 5 years. Find out more about our work: bit.ly/1krV9Qk
