Black Americans Some Somali Women Speak Out About Their Experiences With Female Genital Mutilation

This video centers the voices of African women, including Somali survivors, who are speaking openly about their experiences with female genital mutilation (FGM). These stories are shared not for shock, but for truth, awareness, and protection of future generations. FGM is a human-rights issue that affects millions of girls worldwide. For many survivors, the impact does not end in childhood—it continues physically, emotionally, and psychologically for life. In this discussion, we examine: • What FGM is and how it is defined • Why the practice continues in some communities • The long-term effects on women’s health and well-being • How silence and cultural pressure allow harm to continue • Why survivor voices matter • What accountability and prevention look like This conversation is difficult, but necessary. Protecting girls begins with listening to women who were never protected. This is not about attacking cultures or people. It is about ending harm, supporting survivors, and refusing to stay silent. Truth over comfort. Accountability over tradition. Stay sharp. Stay informed.
