"Others conspire that if you're not cut, you are not clean, nobody will marry you. You are not going to be the same as other girls. You're going to school and you feel like you're different. Because you are not cut. That is why I am an activist and campaigner on female genital mutilation." Ifrah Ahmed is an Irish-Somali activist, campaigner and Civil Society Organisation director working in the field of Female Genital Mutilation/Cutting abandonment. She has also set up the United Youth of Ireland in 2008, in response to youth immigrant integration issues in her adopted country. The Ifrah Foundation is working with the UN for the worldwide eradication of FGM/C by 2030. A feature film, A Girl from Mogadishu, based on her life is out now.

Episode 7: Ifrah Ahmed

Interview with Ifrah Ahmed, Somali-Irish social activist, founder of the United Youth of Ireland non-governmental organization and the Ifrah Foundation - she tells her horrific story and her quest against FEMALE Genital Mutilation FGM. She chose to be the voice not the victim after escaping from war-ridden Somalia age 16, a victim of extreme sexual violence and FGM, she became an Irish citizen after seeking asylum in Ireland. Today at age 31, she is the sweetheart of Irish law-makers, and a voice that matters in the United Nations. She is joined in this interview by Leonie Kerins, her executive director, who gives us the specifics on the issue. If you think FGM is not happening near you think again. 200 million women in the world are victims of FGM, and 30 millions are currently at risk. Even in the United States where 17 states have yet to pass a legislation against FGM. You want to talk of WOMEN EMPOWERMENT ? Let’s ... it’s impossible if you look the other way knowing millions are currently mutilated for the simple fact that they are FEMALES.
