My Female Genital Mutilation Story A BBC Documentary

My name is Leyla and I underwent FGM at just seven years old. Till this day, the trauma caused by her experience still haunts her even in her adult life. Leyla Hussein is a Somali-British activist, author and licensed psychotherapist. In 2013, she founded the Dahlia Project, the UK's first therapy service for survivors of female genital mutilation (FGM) - and a year later appeared in "The Cruel Cut," a BAFTA-nominated Channel 4 documentary about FGM in the UK. Hussein is an FGM survivor - and this is her story. Want to know more about FGM, watch it. #fgm #un
