In this powerful documentary, Jaha shares her deeply personal journey from being a survivor of Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) and forced marriage to becoming a global advocate for women’s rights. Born in The Gambia, Jaha was subjected to FGM as a baby, and at 15, was forced to marry an older man in the United States. Her story unfolds as she realizes the devastating impact of FGM on her body and her life, leading her to fight for the protection of girls and women from this harmful practice.
Jaha returns to The Gambia with a mission: to challenge deeply rooted traditions and to spark a national conversation about FGM, a practice that has affected nearly every woman in her country. As she navigates resistance from her own family and community, Jaha takes on religious leaders and cultural norms, determined to create change. This documentary sheds light on the strength it takes to confront long-held beliefs and push for the rights of women and girls.
Through her activism, Jaha empowers a new generation of women and men to speak out against FGM, showing how one voice can lead to a national movement. This is a story of resilience, hope, and the fight for a future where no girl has to experience what Jaha went through. Follow her emotional journey as she challenges traditions, overcomes obstacles, and inspires a global audience to join her in ending FGM for good.

I'm a nurse in Canada, and one of my dreams in my career is to join Doctors Without Borders. I read about women in remote parts of Africa who are mutilated as children, and then it's common for them to be married and become pregnant very young. Because of both FGM and their small bodies, childbirth is extremely difficult and it's common for mother or baby to die or suffer a life-altering injury during the birth. In hospital in the Western world, it is common for women to suffer tearing during childbirth even under ideal circumstances. But here, these tears are quickly sutured and generally heal without issue. In rural Africa, these tears go unrepaired, leading to infection and the wound getting worse over time. Some women have deep tearing from childbirth that make it difficult to hold their urine or bowels, and causes them great embarrassment and isolation. Ever since I read about these womens suffering, it made me want to do something about it. When I pay off my student loans in some years, I want to join a Doctors Without Borders mission to help these women.

And because you comprehend nothing of the issues involved, or what is true and what is false, you will become yet another problem in Africa. FGM goes way deeper than you at present can comprehend so I suggest you do a decade of learning, in that part of Africa, before making your first move.

@tonyryan43 it is adverse to one's health to cut off the clitoris & labia and then suture closed the vaginal opening. Especially when done by untrained individuals, with unsanitary tool, in unsanitary conditions. That's really where your input can start and end.

In one of her following books she tells about, how she have cutted her son on the 2th day after birth and that Aleekes genital looks now "straight, clean and lovely". She lost ALL her credibility for us at that point. That's the point why she fights just against fgm. She makes until today not a secred about, that her sexual preferences is by cutted mens and why she want's that mgm is still legal. Specially european womens are shocked about her. Until the turn of the millennium the amputation of the end of the penis by the phimose boys was the operation, to save the life of this kids, but mostly over here knows about the defect by this cutted mens. The sexual handicape and the reduced pleasure by him is simular like by a cutted women. They found alternatives today, childdoctors bring down the cutting rate becose of phimose near down to zero, that the boys have the hole pleasure when they are adults. No mother over here want's that the son have to life with this emasculation, the amputation is the last option to save the boys life. Since then a lot of people over here distance to the theme fgm, becose this fgm womens want still for her own preferences, that the boys/man genital is degraded. For us is fgm and mgm the same shame. We don't make a difference cutting in the backyard or in the Hospital. For us is it childabouse even it's taken legal by a doctor like Indonesia and Malaysia, where doctors in white still cutting girls becose of "healthy" in the Hospital, or USA, where doctors still comes with the "healthy" when they cutting the boys.

⁠@@Vintageparis-l2dThat’s not true though. Cultural and religious traditions go hand in hand. Plenty of FGM practitioners will refer to holy texts as a justification. It seems like you’re just uncomfortable about the role that religiosity/spirituality play in these kinds of practices. There’s a lot of beauty in humanity’s religious traditions. But there’s a lot of darkness there too. That said, separating religion from such practices is absolutely essential to seeing them end. So I get where you’re coming from

My husband is from The Gambia, he would tell me that his mum often got chastised for not allowing her daughter to have fgm to done to her. When we had our daughter last year someone still in the Gambia asked him if we’d be bringing her to the Gambia to have it done. It’s crazy that he even got asked that. He obviously said no and that she would never be having it. I’m grateful that he and his family are educated in how wrong it it. My husbands family are very religious and I love it when someone tries to argue with my husband over fgm and say that it’s gods will, when it never says in the Quran girls have to have it done to them. People too often mix their culture in with their religion. When he was growing up in the Gambia he never really knew what fgm was per say he just figured it was similar to when he was circumcised (he was lucky his parents took him to a doctors office. But no painkillers and at the age of 8. Still much better than the traditional way though! So barbaric!) and that it was best for girls, until his sister was born and there was controversy over it. Then when he was older he slept with a girl who had had the fgm procedure done, he told me that until that day he never realised how sad, tragic and horrific fgm really is until then. As he said,” it makes no sense to do it, taking away any pleasure a woman has when making love with her husband, that’s making it a punishment and god doesn’t say to do it.” He told me the story of him and the woman with fgm, she had no feeling, they sat and cried after because she didn’t realise it wasn’t normal and he felt so bad for her. It’s been well over 10 years since he slept with her, yet any time we’ve spoken about it he gets upset, angry and teary eyed, the thought that people wanted to do this to his sister, and even suggested it for our daughter. Change is happening though, conversations are happening and as time goes on the public opinion on the practice is changing, the problem is not enough. The further down in generations you the opinion on fgm changes. Hopefully one day soon, there will be no cases of fgm anywhere in the world, let alone The Gambia or Senegal.

I don't know what it is about being a woman that makes these men hate them, and I don't know what makes these women think that by playing into this nonsense means they will be happy in the end. Her mother was a miserable married mule, and I say that as nicely as possible. Knowledge is power and that is why men and pick-me women hate educated, aware, and wise women. They choose little girls to marry because they are easier to control and they want women to get under their thumbs as early as possible.

I love watching documentaries like this. Because I’m a mother of a young girl child myself. And it reminds me how truly blessed I am to be born to educated Christian parents, whom raised me in America. My empathy and compassion goes to this lady who unfortunately went through this horrible ordeal. She didn’t deserve this. And nobody does! 😭😭🙏🏽

This woman is heroic and she is someone to emulate in her dedication and bravery. Not everyone can be as magnificent in this specific role but we are all capable of educating ourselves and opening the doors of possibility to others; whether they are able to walk through them or need to be shoved. Sadly some will never allow themselves into the next room and remain imprisoned by their own fears and lack of self respect. We must never give up even when it becomes necessary to give ourselves a break. It is the holding of the candle in stillness that allows the flame to remain lit. Whether we are the hands protecting the candle, the wick the flame will exist on, the spark which lights the flame or even the flame itself; these must all come together in order for the energy of light to beckon and illuminate our path.

Shes very brave. It's tragic many they think its an Islamic practice. In fact, this is a Pharaonic practice. This is the ways of r african ancestors. This circumcision of boys and girls are both from our ancestors. The arabs learnt it of the Jews and the Jews learnt it in Africa or we learnt it of them God knows best, but its definitely not mentioned in the Quran.

What a strong lady to speak out against it. It's amazing what a little education does. The fact that she was married off when she was underage in America is also disgusting. One thing is for sure, this just instils in me, my hatred of religion.

What is the use you are more abused than the mutilated. With rapes. Multiple partners. Divorces going from one partner to another. Cervical cancers..

@@enmn6001 Abuse or rape is not the norm here in europe or the usa like in african countries, it happens true but it is frowned upon and punished by law and actually put money into helping women. Multible partners if that is between consenting adults i don't see the issue that's non of your or my business. Divorce is exactly to solve the abuse and such so know what you want please... If you get cancer here you probably survive, in africa you''re not that lucky... Cervical cancer is probably the highest in africa not on our continents...

@@AzaarvSay that all you want- doesn’t make it true. There are better and worse standards of living for women in different parts of the world. Places you’re collectively referring to as “The West” are MUCH better places to exist if you’re a woman. Nowhere is perfect, but the difference is obvious.
