Barwaaqe: I will create awareness so FGM can be stopped for good
Barwaaqe is adamant that if she ever has daughters, she will never force them to undergo FGM. In Somalia, 98% of girls and women, aged 15-49, have been subjected to female genital mutilation, or FGM. Despite the practice having devastating health implications for women and girls – including pain, bleeding, permanent disability and even death.
