I don't want to go to their grave suffering like that silently.
When you hear about female genital mutilation (FGM), it’s often from a distant, impersonal perspective. But in this deeply moving episode of 'Past Imperfect', hosts Sam Seager and Jude Claybourne sit down with Hibo Wardere, author of 'Cut', to share her personal and harrowing experience with FGM. At just six years old, Hibo endured the unimaginable pain of being cut by her own family. Her story is one of betrayal, trauma, and ultimately, resilience.
Hibo doesn't just recount her painful past; she uses it as a springboard for advocacy and change. She’s now a fervent campaigner against FGM, working tirelessly in the UK and beyond to protect young girls from this cruel practice. The episode dives into the raw and emotional details of Hibo’s journey, exploring how she transformed her trauma into a mission to save others.
It’s not just about the physical act of FGM but also its lasting impact on relationships and self-identity. The discussion also highlights the role of men in perpetuating or combating FGM, the effects of the pandemic on gender-based violence, and the economic forces driving this practice. Hibo’s story is a powerful reminder that even the darkest experiences can fuel incredible strength and activism.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to understand the complexities of FGM and the incredible resilience of survivors.
