One of his nieces had to undergo Female Genital Mutilation (FGM), he now wants to make sure other girls can be spared of this practice. Watch him share his story. 
 
Female genital mutilation comprises all procedures that involve altering or injuring the female genitalia for non-medical reasons. It’s a harmful practice and a form of violence against women.
