For me it was days of preparation. First it my mother ,aunty and few other relatives to build the Horror Hut. All I can see was alot of time was spent in building it. They took time with it.
Then followed by preparing beautiful food and Somali sweets things. My favourite was and still is Halwa. This is made out of sugar. Cornflour Cardamom, butter Ghee sometimes nuts are added. Extremely sweet. I loved it very much .
Preparation was complete. Now party of all females begun. My goodness I got so many dreses of all colours. Shoes that were in fashion. They were Sandals with tiny heels on them made of hard rubber. The sandals had ranbows colours on their heels. I got so many
I felt like a princess. Everyone happy. Telling me I am going to be a Woman, A brave one. Of course I didnt understand but it felt beautiful oh how everyone was giving me so much attention. But what awaits no one talks about ir. Most tight kept secret.
Well the day comes & its the most horrific day in your life. Most gruesome yet your family i part of it. Tbat morning i was led into the hut and my life changed forever. In that hut . I got held down and they butchered me . They slice off my genitals as if I wasn& #39;t created
With. The used dirty razors and proceded in removing my clitoris, both labias and stitched up whatever skin that was left tightly. I was left with tiny hole like top of a matchstick. That morning the pain exploded in my body. The pain consumed me like a wild fire.
I prayed to die. There was no anaesthesia. You were butchered. I begged so much .I screamed so much withing minutes my voice was gone. My body taken over by the pain .my body shook with rage. I tried desperately not to move as every movement made my pain worse.
That morning my world

Scared for life. Riddled with pain for life. Emotionally damaged for life. Physically pained for life. Psychologically tortured 4 life What they did was for life The impact from this is for life.

Have been affected for life. The silent suffering is for life. Their struggle to understand this is for life. FGM.affects you for rest of your life. Its life sentence. 800 girls are condemned to life of pain for life
I repeat everyday my pain because I want everyone to be educated on this mass violence against women and girls worldwide. Its painful and fresh in my heart & soul. I found my voice and I will use as much as I can .
