I've never been one to stay still. I was born a nomad, and I still am a nomad and always will be.
Waris DirieI always knew, from the very day of my own mutilation, that I would one day fight against this practice. I did not know how and when, but I knew that I would fight it.
Waris DirieI love the truth. Tell the truth and live the truth, because we've seen enough lies and look what it's doing.
Waris DirieWell, of course thereโs 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.
