Mali

This is quite possibly one of the most tragic stories on this list so if you have a weak stomach we suggest you skip right through. But in our opinion, their story deserves to be both told and heard and a solution desperately needs to be come up with.

The Peulh women of the KiKava village in the Mali desert are the victims of incessant female genital mutilation. Why? Simply because there are NO laws against it over here and hence, a huge number of women have been subjected to it.
