Mbiame New Vision join the rest of the world to celebrate International Day of Zero Tolerance for Female Genital Mutilation. <a href="https://www.facebook.com/1400725180248001/posts/2592721677715006/">https://www.facebook.com/1400725180248001/posts/2592721677715006/</a> Case of <a href="/hashtags/african">#African</a> continent I wish to celebrate. The now visible bruises on my face because I have spoken. That I can now speak and I am done being weak. That I am a flame that burns in many broken souls. That I will be the yawn on survivors’ faces upon the break of dawn. That I will make no excuses for the woman I have become. This winner in me. The tapped wealth in reason and resource in me. That I celebrate the voices of other survivors. Together, we have spoken. And we have overcome the fear of losing bond. Together we’ll rise above. I celebrate our voice, the voice of Africa’s youth, that will be heard. I wish to celebrate the way Allah has created me for He has perfected me the way I am. A Poem About FGM, For The Girl Generation  By: Sahra Ahmed Koshin.
