it was. just the world really getting better and. a global $3000.00 special report. starts august 19th sundays of the. ship special digital warriors women using social media to help change the world. today i saw to come our wants to end female genital mutilation in guinea. we use social media to tell our story to and as chance. may be new 3000000 are cut. why is it then we are being silent. about the lives of. good and not about you and me there's this out.

next is. there. no no just everyone watching yet we will. work through. this. this is the house where the cutting happened i remember that day like it was yesterday. this house is where i went from being just a normal young girl to being a survivor of f.c. i'm. a little bit of. female genital mutilation. dini is rampant we are the country with the 2nd highest rate of girls

and women who walk out between 96 percent and 98 percent of all women and girls in guinea have got the reason why fighting f.e.m. in the country is so difficult is that it crosses social barriers educated people are cutting their children not educated people are cutting their children poor people are cutting rich people are cutting christians are cutting muslims are cutting people who don't believe in any religion and are actually practicing engine religion and also cutting. girls are cut from one day of born to about anywhere between $10.11 sometimes if it's later it's 121314 so it's from one day are born usually from a week old to

a dollar since the cut. there is no limits foundation was started in 2008 with my sister mariama when they're american leavitt's and myself. when started with a $1000.00. or so with it in dallas and a dream we knew that we wanted people to have dignity and to be able to help themselves so all of our programs are based in communities we work with locals and lead to michael loans we give women and girls the opportunity to have economic mobility to own their own businesses to take care of themselves.

they project a s.g.m. only start in $26.00 or not you know no to us it is not just about dropping the rate of g.m. it's about creating a new culture all about creating a new tradition and a new norm in our society how america's ok well that's what i don't know michel i owe our humanity our bob. what our social media our work and that. i actually use social media to connect with other sister activists around the world and i fighting against after you know sisters from sudan from india from you know somalia all working in the all corner anough g.m. and we use social media to recruit to saddle johns to support one another.

sometimes an activist my get death for. and tell us what do i do and we help them respond to it so we social media is critical it's critical to everything that we do . this is the room that i was living in. when i was cut. so i heard like overseas for instance and. i pad. so i wanted to run away. but they come walk outside the corridor. and then we line up with my cousin and others. and i would take that long walk.

i can't see what they're doing but there's this moment where in the movement where i've just you know hug the shot put. in a. weapon. and i describe it like. imagine when you're opening up because the power. that slowness of opening does approach. and. the way i could feel my coons. off.

and then came. to. my modest good twat to. know it was ok. to work i'm. not eating my food. and my. poor quality law took place he only thinks easy because the try he said. creating about to have a family more than she has son te amo stuff is in my interest to let you know support the practice may kill salt pork was cool if. less. and less good there's also strikes. girls were

a. good word game for a. bigger song and for the who posse group was at on today to do said d.b.m. people whose all songs on the long. bus the good outcome be a nice easy for a good listener. so i was not i myself i was mad at myself for not hiding what enough i was mad at myself for not buying it there i was take all of the scenarios he was always me i did something wrong. so

for the rituals the way the. girls are being lined up one day actually being cut those rituals comes from the past and it is still something that people are continually. was . this is all about the secret of f g m it's almost like a secret sisterhood. was . cranky we. thank. god.

was. that was was was. was. was. was was was. was. was was. what we are doing is to remove the secrecy around the cutting so we want people to be able to understand it so that they understand that one you know the cutting is not necessary so we are

doing alter it to vote right of passage yet i can't. think. what the community showed us was how they use to celebrate the girls but then it will end with the cutting and what we are trying to do with them is a teaching them that you can still celebrate girls you can still celebrate your tradition but you don't need to do the fighting. man. yet when we're doing a dance we use social media to tell people where we're going to be. on the young people don't force it also so media tag us to web and talk about how we are talking about jihad and the fact that they have to now stepped. in and.

just cut hundreds of girls from her recollection she was on the actual count and i'm glad that she promised to me she swore to go out there sure my child again. my dream is that women will be valued. all over the world. that he will be ok to be a woman that we don't have to explain. the space that we have to. what

secrets lie behind these memos. find a human mercy of experience and explores passon eating food cultural heritage sites . the d w world heritage 360 if he. wants to see what's going on the knowledge of these emerges then you know what you have to do to fight it. the sharp microscope that have been spent the knowledge there will come better and better and better over the years but we will end the bad fall for example all of the viral infection. in molecular the 0 and therefore it will also be possible to 5 much more easily by word to speculate about what's going on in 2050 i can't imagine that you will add to that the cause of count much better and then reduce the number of cancer cases there is the opportunity to live
