Just when I thought that personal accounts of #femalegenitalmutilation couldn't possibly be more horrifying, I've just read about Ifrah Ahmed . My mind will never be able to grasp how a human being could think that savagely mutilating the genitals of a little girl could be a positive thing. There is no cultural lens to wear about this sickening brutality. This evil insanity is even practiced on babies. Once again, I'm inspired by the selfless courage of women like Ahmed who have survived this inhuman terror and want to save other girls from enduring it. I will look for the upcoming movie about her life, "A Girl From Mogadishu," later this year. But remember this...an estimated 200 MILLION women and girls have been subjected to this demonic practice. IT MUST STOP.
