I forgave my mother for my FGM - but I want to stop the practice

[Deeq A.]

When Hibo Wardere was six, she was "cut". She had been cruelly bullied at school in Somalia by her peers, who called her "dirty" for not having had the procedure. So, she asked her mother if she could be cut in order to fit in. She had no idea that "cutting" was, in fact, female genital mutilation (FGM).
