Menceritakan perjuangan Waris Dirie sbg foto model and duta besar special dr PBB utk membebaskan adanya praktek Female Genital Mutilation di Eropa. Krn praktek FGM ini banyak juga dilakukan di negara-negara Eropa maupun di negara asal mereka.

Dan pada saat ini hanya Perancis yg satu-satunya negara Eropa yg memberlakukan Undang-Undang anti Female Genital Mutilation ini. Di buku ini, diceritakan pula bagaimana perasaan atau keadaan mental para wanita ataupun anak-anak korban FGM ini.

Dng membaca buku ini, saya melihat bagaimana kegigihan seorg Waris Dirie yg memberikan support utk wanita-wanita korban genital mutilation ini. Dan saya mensyukuri keberadaan saya sbg seorg wanita

This was very informative (keeping in mind that it is ~20 years old) and very important topic that waris drew a lot of attention to thru her books. however it was quite disorganised and could have done with a good edit. at times it reminded me of research notes for a uni essay and could get a little repetitive or confusing.

FIGLIE DEL DOLORE è la denuncia di una tortura che colpisce milioni di donne, ragazze e bambine. È un grido di libertà. È l’appello che una donna lancia alle altre donne affinché questa atrocità inaccettabile finisca al più presto.

Very compelling a very good read!!

Είναι ένα βιβλίο γροθιά στο στομάχι....είναι το τρίτο βιβλίο της συγγραφέως κ πρόκειται για την προσωπική της αφήγηση όσον αφορά την πορεία της ζωής της και τους στόχους της.... Για ένα συγκεκριμένο στόχο της πού είναι η παγκόσμια εξάλειψη του FGM, του ακρωτηριασμού των γυναικείων γεννητικών οργάνων

I read Dirie’s autobiography Desert Flower when I was 14 or 15 . It was the first time I learned about female genital mutilation (FGM) , no other book has stuck with me like this book did and I still think of it as one of my favourite books because it genuinely moved me .

This book covers Dirie’s work as an FGM activist in Europe , a pretty grim read . I’m glad I read this , even after reading her first book I just don’t think I realised how prolific the practice of FGM was . But also frustrating at how powerless everyone is on managing to but an end to it .

Not completed yet - OMG so shocking and sad - poor African women who suffers ........so cruel .....

Dirie’s account of her investigations into female genital mutilation (FGM). The writing itself is somewhat repetitive, but I am increasing my score to 4⭐️ due to the nature of this horrendous practice and many people’s ignorance around the subject. Hat’s off to this lady for her long-standing attempts to educate and inform.

Puur als literatuur is dit geen topboek, maar het is een ontzettend verhaal over de genitale verminkingen die bij jonge meisjes worden aangebracht. Zo ver van je bed, en toch gebeurt het wereldwijd, ook hier in België.

Voor wie iets van Waris Dirie wil lezen raad ik vooral haar andere boeken aan, maar dit is zeker ook ontzettend interessant. En ontzettend ontzettend.

The author is a Somali model, social activist and actress. She has been subjected to the cruel practice of female genital mutilation in her youth.
.
This is very common amongst certain communities mostly in African and Arab countries, which led in having this spread to Europe through immigrant communities.
.
The cruelty and shocking facts of FGM are in this book in the form of stories shared by those subjected to it, research, doctors, lawyers and activists.
.
The religious and cultural aspects are mentioned along with the opposing argument. Certain mothers though they are doing good by subjecting their daughters to such a practice as this is what they were taught. Education is key

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.

CYKL: "WARIS DIRIE" (TOM 3)

To pierwsza książka Waris Dirie, z jaką miałam styczność.
Nie jest tak ciekawa jak "Kwiat pustyni", ale zasługuje na miano dobrej. Bardziej jest to reportaż o procederze obrzezania. Autorka analizuje tę sprawę, są też opisane przypadki kobiet/młodych dziewczyn, które zostały poddane temu procederowi w dzieciństwie.
Jest to niewątpliwie ważna książka, podobnie jak "Kwiat pustyni" zwracająca uwagę na okrutny proceder jakim jest obrzezanie kobiet. I mimo wielu danych statystycznych pomimo tego, iż nie jest to typowa powieść, to czyta się ją dobrze.
