Leyla Hussein | The Cruel Cut

Every 11 seconds, a girl undergoes female genital mutilation (FGM). Leyla Hussein is an anti-FGM campaigner and a survivor who shares her personal experience of FGM with the goal of protecting girls from this abusive practice. Originally from Somalia, Leyla works as a psychotherapist in the UK and addresses the prevalence of FGM around the world. As Leyla reminds us, FGM is a practice of oppressing women and controlling women's sexuality. It is not an African issue, it is not an Asian issue; it is a global issue that requires a global investment in women. The Oslo Freedom Forum is a global event series presented by the Human Rights Foundation (HRF).
