Philomèe is 21 years old and lives in the city of Koupela in Burkina Faso. In this short clip she talks about the psychological trauma that Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) can cause among women. 

FGM 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.

Enabel is engaged in the fight to end FGM once and for all and brings its support to the #16daysofactivism against gender-based violence.
