Fight against Female Genital Mutilation
Waris Dirie, A Human Rights Activist Who Publicized the Issue of Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) to the World
Q. You were the first person to claim to fight against female genital mutilation.
Did you have any concerns or think that it could be dangerous to you?
I don’t look at the possibility, or think about how it will be, or what it would be like.
There was a problem I couldn’t stop thinking about, and I didn’t think about anything else.
Because if you do think about it, you never make it.
I don’t think about the ifs.
I knew that it was something I had to do,
and I went for it.
