Synopsis
Born into a nomadic tribe in Somalia, Waris Dirie was forced to undergo female circumcision at the age of 5. Since her escape to England, this courageous spirit has become a Top Revlon Model, and a UN Special Ambassador against FGM (Female Genital Mutilation). In this, her third book, she explains that at least half a million girls in Europe are at risk, or have undergone, FGM. She brings to us voices of women who are finally encouraged to speak out, and move us to action.
