At 38 years old, Diaryatou Bah, with a youthful, peaceful, smiling face, has already lived several lives.
The president of the Espoirs et Combats de femmes association is organizing a “happening” this Saturday in Paris*.
A way to denounce the medicalization of excision which is developing in certain countries in Africa and Asia, where caregivers continue to mutilate little girls despite the ban on this practice.
In 2019, the number of excised women living in France was estimated at 125,000.
Former minister Marlène Schiappa, singer Inna Modja, doctors Ghada Hatem, Pierre Foldès and Sarah Abramowicz are announced.
In twenty years of fighting against sexual mutilation, Diaryatou Bah, resident of Romainville, has succeeded in uniting around her a large network of activists, caregivers and personalities.
“It’s a quiet strength!”
» summarizes her long-time comrade, Sarah Abramowicz, who set up a unit to care for female victims of excision at the Montreuil hospital.
