It's it's how they feed their families.

You can't remove a practice that someone depends on economically without offering an alternative.

And the Liberia model recognized this and addressed it directly.

That's a model worth replicating.

Yeah, I mean I think the silence exists too because it's hard to talk about, right?

I mean, in communities where FGM has been normalized for generations, some people don't really understand what FGM is and they've just never talked about it.

They've never questioned the practice.

That moment of recognition when the silence breaks and someone who is inside it finally sees it's not this small thing, that's how cultural change begins.

Is so it's one conversation at a time.

One person saying This happened to me and it was wrong and I'm not going to pretend it didn't.

I would add that the people who are living with it most honestly are the survivors.

So we mentioned Jaha Ducurri, cut at one week old.

She spent her adult life asking the hardest version of this question from inside the community where it happened to her and where she's trying to make sure it doesn't happen to anyone else.

Maryam Safey, Lord Into the Basement in India at seven years old, she stood up at the UN and said, I don't fit the profile.

Like this is a bigger problem than you think, meaning we can't be protecting a practice that's happening to girls who look like the people you think are safe.

So these women refused the silence and that refusal is, you know, the engine of everything.

I mean, there's several things.

So you can support survivor led organizations.

There's something called Safe Hands for Girls, Toastan, there's the Desert Flower Foundation.

There's Integrate UK.
