Well, of course there’s my own experience of being mutilated as a little child. Having gone through this cruel practice and all the long-term consequences that come with it, I just cannot sit back and watch it being done to thousands of little girls every year. I believe that it is my responsibility to use the attention I get to fight against the continuing practice of FGM.

FGM breaches all human rights and has no place in any 21st century society.

Less hatred, more love, less war, more peace, more respect for the Mother Nature and for other people.

I love the truth. Tell the truth and live the truth, because we've seen enough lies and look what it's doing.

Laws are important. But they can only be effective if the people know about the particular laws.

Personal style? I don't really believe in that. Whatever is comfortable.

Female genital mutilation targets little girls, baby girls - fragile angels who are helpless, who cannot fight back. It's a crime against a child, a crime against humanity. It's abuse. It's absolutely criminal and we have to stop it.
