An inspiring story. We need to get behind women like Nice Lengete to help end the practice of FGM. Nice Nailantei Lengete escaped her own planned circumcision at age 8, and she committed to save others, too. Now, at 22, shes working with her Masai community and others in Kenya to implement alternative rites of passage programs in which more than 800 girls have taken part so far. These images show Lengetes efforts to educate and empowerment young girls and honor their culture, while saving them from the harm of female genital mutilation. As she puts it, The first thing is respect. You need to respect everyone and you need to be a keen listener. You dont judge them. You make sure the answers are coming from them. ~LA theroot/views/meet-woman-fighting-female-circumcision
