Will genital mutilations still regularly happens in around thirty countries most of them in africa the middle east and asia according to the un around two hundred million women and girls worldwide have been subjected to the terrible violation some are cut as teenagers others as Young Children as awareness of the topic rises the average age when f. D. M. Is carried out since younger girls put up less resistance. Female genital mutilation occurs in societies that are christian islamic and animist theres evidence its been going on in some places for at least two thousand years where its common its performed on girls and young women from every stratum of society in both cities and the countryside and for the rest of their lives they suffer from both the physical and psychological consequences. And this is the house where the cutting happened. I remember that day like it was yesterday. This house is where i went from being just a normal young girl to being a survivor of f. G. Of. Female genital mutilation name is rampant we are the country with the second highest rate of girls and women who are caught between ninety six percent and ninety eight percent of all women and girls in guinea have it the reason why fighting f. E. M. In the country is so difficult is that it crosses social barriers educated people according to children not educated people are cutting their children poor people are cutting rich people are crowding christians are cutting muslims are cutting people who dont believe in any religion and are actually practicing religion and also. Girls are cut from one theyre born to about anywhere between ten and eleven sometimes if its later its twelve thirteen fourteen so its from one day im born usually from a week old to adama since the cut. There is no limit foundation was started in two thousand and eight with my sister mariama when their camera person was it and myself. We started with eighteen dollars. So with anything that is in the dream we knew dad we wanted people to have dignity and to be able to help them sounds so all of our programs are based in communities we work with you know courts and lead to michael loans we give women and girls. To have economic mobility to own their own businesses to take care of themselves. The project of s. G. M. Only start in twenty sixth well let you know and to us it is not just about dropping the rate of g. M. Its about creating a new culture its about creating a new tradition and a new norm in our society now american folk remember that oh my god oh our map see. What our social media are working in d. C. I actually use social media to connect with a sister activists around the world and i fighting against after them sisters from saddam from india from you know so malia all over working in the all corner and the g. M. And we use social media to recruit to saturday to support one another. Sometimes in activist my get Death Threats and tell us what do i do and we help them to spawn to it so we social media is critical its critical to everything that we do. This is over and what i was living in when i was caught. So i heard the conversations and soon get. Into it because it was the bigger issue right to a path. So i wanted to run away. But they come we walk outside to look already are. And then we line up with my cousins and others. And i would take that long walk. I can see what theyre doing but just this moment where in that movement where i just feel like the shot put. Feel. And i clear. Off. And then. Do you want me to be mutilated. Only. To know it was serious three ants to fight two. On a movie and why did. They decided to circumcise you. If you allow that to happen to you it was his. Girl who are. The parents duty to the child. You think youre doing something good for the children was all songs on the. Bus because they say a woman who isnt circumcised isnt clean that shes dirty they said she smells if. I was an angry my mom im not angry at them im not angry at my aunts as a grand myself. And i think that is the. That is the problem with survivors is that he. We sometimes take it too hard on ourselves so i was mad at myself i was mad at myself for not hiding well enough i was mad at myself for not buying it there i was a call of the scenarios he was always me i did something wrong. What we are doing is to remove the secrecy around the cutting so we want people to be able to understand it so that they understand that one you know the cutting is not necessary so we are doing alternative rites of passage. And. What the community showed us was how do you use to celebrate the girls but then it will end with the cutting and what we are trying to do with this it teach them that you can still celebrate girls you can still celebrate the tradition but you dont need to do the fighting. While were doing a dance we use social media to tell people where were going to be. The young people dont force it also so media tag us to where and talk about how we are talking about and decide they are denouncing and. My dream is that women will be valued. All over the world. That he will be ok to be that we dont have to explain. The space that we used. This week our global ideas series takes us to south america. There our reporter tanya boot set out to discover more about a unique aquatic landscape caused by flooding in northern colombia during the rainy season its now in need of protection and locals are doing what they can to preserve it. From above it looks like a lake but in fact its a wetland system known as a c. M. Aka. The landscape is actually hilly but during the rainy season overflowing rivers form freshwater meadows transforming it into a swamp. Its a biotope thats home to an extraordinary variety of plant life fish and foreigner. The people who live here are used to a landscape the changes with the seasons. There are some one thousand eight hundred sienna guides in colombia of varying sizes one of the largest to see and ive got this is under threat. Oh my that on her is official woman she and her seven children live on the island of bottom corner as. The local fisher folk are well aware that the sea and the guy is suffering. Is that im most of us go there used to be many many more fish huge fish in general there was much more wildlife but lots of species have died out theyve just disappeared there are species that younger generations dont know because they dont exist anymore. There are many problems besetting the sea and they go and most of them are caused by deforestation trees cut to make way for Palm Oil Plantations and the ensuing a ready jungle has also been replaced by pasture land for cattle and then theres the increased frequency of any new events which dry out trees and reduce the cmyk as water levels nature is completely out of kilter locals are looking for solutions. To has joined forces with other fisherman and women and founded an association to protect the biotope with more sustainable fishing practices. They now use smaller nets with a larger mesh to avoid overfishing than to ensure stocks can replenish. Being at the bottom end of that weve laid out some ground rules that are there. We agreed that if anyone casts a net in the conservation zone about your business as they have done here that well pull it out which. Was sometimes we burn them at. A further aspect of local conservation efforts is targeted reforestation. Seeds are gathered and cultivated in tree nurseries until theyre ready to be planted. Many residents have played a role in the deforestation. But i also know that lots of people here have destroyed trees to gather firewood. Bonfires on the waters edge and grill the fish theyve caught or they collected to take home to their kitchens i dont know. You know. Here in la motta like in most other parts of the region a lot of people live from fishing. That. In the afternoon volunteer conservationists hold a meeting the thirteen women and four men have come. To ensure the survival of a c. N. N. Has unique biotope and with it their livelihoods. At the d. V. D. Trina three seeds and saplings of local plants are cultivated and prepared for planting. Useful. This isnt easy to plant it has to be cultivated from seedlings its fruit can be cooked and drunk is juice were going to reintroduce the plant and the sea and i got. The conservationists make their own fertilizer from cow dung sand and banana shrubs. As an incentive the Aid Organization t. N. C. Pays residents for their plants the sienna they used to be home to around three thousand nine hundred species of plant the fact that so many have died out has wide reaching consequences. The bokeh chico fish has died out because there werent enough trees on the river banks thats why we decided to replant trees it means the fish stocks will regenerate to live with. Trees along the waters edge provide a quite a life with shade and also nutrition when the fruit is ripe it falls into the water and the fish can feed on it. Is another village on the sea and i got. Here in a side street is a further example of a local initiative to ensure Food Security during the dry season the household garden. The houses here usually have small yards where owners have planted fruit trees vegetables and her. Some locals are also. Planning to raise animals for their meat and ducks and chickens for eggs. That you were meant to houses used to have huge backyards people werent aware that they could grow useful plants in the yard is a way of economizing like. They are now learning to cultivate different types of plants and about how to use their resources bought up all their money settle. Neighbors discuss what to grow with a view to trading with each other that way they maximize the range of produce. This household garden is exemplary. The project is helping locals raise enough to keep themselves fed even during the dry season. Looming on the horizon is the next. Which will mean less rain the weather pattern is growing more and more frequent say the fisherfolk making life even more challenging. This week our global team comes from an island in the caribbean.
