grateful. my life would have been so much different because it feels like oh would have gone through the pay to go through without. and then not to be able to do something that is the god given thing to peak. you can't p and then you commence duration. and then when you have to have sex, you don't enjoy it and it's like painful. and then you have to give birth and then it just continue. i'm so grateful that i didn't go through that. and when i met this woman who have to go through it, ah, ah, i mean,

i've come to kenya to find out more about a totally different culture. ah. are over 40 stripes here. who is diverse cultures and traditions. the majority don't practice or cut at all but to several, including the mass i cutting has been a centuries old tradition. until recently. today i'm meeting 28 year old nicely getty nice of managed to totally eradicate f t. m. in her village of no. my younger oh fun in. traditionally for them sy, cutting the right of passage, marking the transition from girlhood to womanhood. usually between the ages of 9

and 14. the neutral in balsam was severe type of cutting last a few gun from his release because of the competition. i used to see gas even if they're trying to be strong. but you can see that they're feeling a lot of b, as i believe, dean, who saw that in this community. nice with the only gun have village who refused to be cut. all of my classmates were from this community, all of them of and are going to the conversation and they didn't, they were not able to coordinate education. they have to find a husband for you after a conversation. so right now, almost all of them have 345 children, and about i, jumbo worse. what's your name? my name is sloan. oh, what a beautiful name. have they been the 2nd thought? no, they haven't been fuck. i'm faced. how do you feel about not being cut with her

when you're not feeling well? so what would you like to do on a growth agenda? the a mel with daily back. ok. thank you. lauren. as a result of nice is determination to and if she m no young girl had been katya since 2012. the messiah and a patriarchal city. 3000, i 1st had to persuade the young warriors called miranda to help and the practice. recruiting douglas early the lead of them rounds was the beginning, the word. where did you do nice to make them change their opinion of others. jim douglas, was there 1st present to accept my while the resistance was there from all over? but then again, i had another trick because when they go to them, i'll go with someone like that. bless while nature that he talks it before i talk. so what did he do to persuade them parents in the community?

it was very hard for us to contain the boys because they say that they cannot marry jobs because even job is not comes if he's not a woman. then if we give an example of some of the that we have seen in the community, they say it's true and they forget it. they think it took more than 5 years for them just to accept. and now we decided to come up with a candidate. we came up with 10 left. if i tell you the 10 golf in this community and we want them to upgrade to become a woman, we bless them. then we looked at the same cows we celebrated together, but we didn't cut. so that's what we've come up with. douglas, bring some of his fellow miranda to that in a mix of marriage, moran ok, and then what, what do you know?

what actually happens when a girl is cut? you're going to get him lonely now, and i really love it when you love it. and when i get there, i don't know. last week you had any more and shape william will do it. i don't, don't you know, when you, when you don't want to throw some around a graphic video over 2 year old girl being cut with a knife, he was the where did you think linda, when they're doing this? do you have a daughter?

a how do you feel if someone said she needed to be got a lovely a lot going. so i think it was one of the possible to have been using when we addressing them on the issues of female genital mutilation. and there was another very persuasive incentive for the young warriors when we see it as moran, as we talk and talk about sex, you see, most of the morons are most of the men, d, c. they sleep, we can say god, she is very sweet and said, no, that's what also contains most of them. what i need to say, we don't need the faculty. yeah, for a meeting . the messiah in pneumonia gives me hope. if one woman can change attitudes in one village, perhaps it's time to possible to change and tire countries who

uses performance ought to draw attention to the critical and controversial issues facing chinese cards are one 0, one east meets china's after with one out to 0 african stories by african filmmaker turbo le, let's go to drive over the weekend with all more than a bit of mother learn all really short documentary from her keener fossil and synagogue. if you will, make your ha relief. and believe you complete my you for years i can give to, i'm be of middle school, the man who plants vow bomb. and i rested history, africa direct on al jazeera while i'm half go fish and half lebanese. so diversity is really important to me and alta 0 is the most diverse place i've ever

worked. we have so many different nationalities, and this is these brought together in this one youth organization. and this diversity of perspective is reflected in our coverage, giving a more accurate representation of the world we report so, and that's a key strength of alpha 0. ah you know what? you all just bear with me. so robin in doha, reminder of our top news stories, europe, and most of africa has wrong in the new year into the cloud of alma crohn celebrations are muted across the world with subsidies counseling that traditional firework displays, or bending large gatherings. 2 years after the coven 19 pandemic was declared on the situation continues to decline worldwide. in many countries, cases have been filled by the more contagious micron buried. united states
