RECOMMENDEDREADING
By Hibo Wardere
Forced down on a bed, her legs held apart,
Hibo Wardere was made to undergo female genital cutting, a process so brutal,
she nearly died. As a teenager she moved to London in the shadow of the
Somalian Civil War where she quickly learnt the procedure she had undergone
in her home country was not "normal" in the West. Eloquent and
searingly honest, this is Hibo's memoir which promises not only to tell her
remarkable story but also to shed light on a medieval practice that's being
carried out in the 21stcentury, right on our doorstep. FGM in the UK has gone
undocumented for too long and now that's going to change. Devastating,
empowering and informative, this book brings to life a clash of cultures at
the heart of contemporary society and shows how female genital mutilation is
a very British problem. Today Hibo finds herself working in London as an
anti-FGM campaigner, helping young girls whose families plan to take them
abroad for the procedure. |
