ABSTRACT
When I first joined Sahiyo’s team as an intern, I was asked to familiarize myself with the Voices to End Female Genital Mutilation/Cutting (FGM/C) project to understand how Sahiyo uses storytelling to abolish FGM/C. My mentor, Mariya, Sahiyo US Executive Director, expected me to view a handful of videos, but I watched every story in a single sitting. I couldn’t tear myself away. The bravery of every survivor who so beautifully shared their story was enthralling and inspiring.
