Overcoming Zusammenfassung

Overcoming: My Fight Against FGM Ann-Marie Wilson

Three million girls across the world are at risk of female genital mutilation (FGM) each year.

When Ann-Marie Wilson met a girl named Fatima in West Darfur, who had experienced FGM at the age of five and was pregnant by the age of ten, she knew she had to do something. Her life's work since then has been geared toward speaking out against FGM, as well as supporting the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of as many survivors as possible.

Built on the experience of more than 3,000 FGM survivors' stories as well as meetings with heads of state and the Pope, Overcoming tells the compelling story of how Ann-Marie leaned on her Christian faith through her darkest moments to build 28 Too Many. This international organisation offers hope to the millions of girls who, just like Fatima, are at risk of FGM each year.
