I am more aware of women’s rights. I keep my boundaries to men who attack me verbally. I don’t accept that anymore. My father used to hit my sister and I quite often and I don’t accept it anymore. It’s not because you are a man, and you are physically stronger than me, that you can hit me. It’s not ok. It makes me more confident and powerful.

I was looking at the group and there are so many people from so many different backgrounds. And I was really ‘Wow’! It is not only women united, we are women from all over the world united and that is so beautiful and powerful to see. I feel very grateful to be part of it.

I feel that I founded my freedom with the project. I became more open and freer to say no, and to raise awareness in public [about FGM]. It is amazing. I helped with my self-confidence, self-esteem and to say no. No more silence. I feel it when I say it.
