Figlie del dolore

I really enjoyed reading Desert Flower and Desert Dawn but it seems like Waris didnt have enough material for this book. She re uses material from the first 2 books and repeats herself over and over again. I lost a little respect for Waris after reading of her harrowing story and discovering that she Leggi tutto

Segundo libro que leo de Waris Dirie sobre su lucha contra la mutilación genital femenina. En este caso, se centra más en la situación de la MGF en Europa que en sus propias experiencias personales. Asusta ver hasta qué punto esa práctica bárbara sigue vigente y no solo a miles de kilómetros de nues Leggi tutto

"Alle siebzehn Sekunden wird ein Mädchen verstümmelt." Incredibly powerful and educational book. Dirie delves into the subject of 'FGM', takes it by the neck and brings it to light. Compelling storytelling that enlightens one to find out more about the horrifying and cruel reality young African girls Leggi tutto

Es hat mich erschüttert, zu erfahren, wie präsent das Thema der Genitalverstümmelung in Europa doch ist. Die Geschichten der Betroffen haben mich zutiefst berührt und zugleich schockiert. Es werden Szenarien beschrieben, die mir zuvor ausserhalb jeglicher Vorstellungen lagen.

This book covers Diri Leggi tutto

I'm rating this book so highly because of its topic and the author's passion for eradicating it from the world. The topic is FGM, female genital mutilation, and she examines its prevalence in Europe, and how it is being responded to. The book was published in 2005 so it would be interesting to find

I think this is the most interesting of her books - though you probably have to read the first two to fully get it. Having written her autobiography over the first two books, this is much more about the issue of FGM and how best to fight it. She compares the approaches of different European countries Leggi tutto
