It was a mantra trafficking poster with a girls face and. I thought yes this is my path so she learned about that and immediately went up and they were really rescuing girls from brothels helping them become survivors and immediately in working with them and volunteer in there she began to recognise that the way in which they were treating these girls was very much in their heads but not in their bodies and she asked the head of the organization if she could try something sort of experimental and that was to just have these women move. That they started their work it was not so easy i was very confident i know social norm downs i know untempered already done so i was doing. So i must say i was really going. Didnt that it will be you know like this and i was very very young on that and were naming when to that shelter home and the 1st day was the disaster did nothing luggage 2 2. So then i thought ok its not working and but that gave me an insight that i dont know anybody actually the entire infrastructure of all the communication of the goddess and the perspective everything and i thought that i needed to really start putting into new. So i started to create some story to leaving and focusing on movement not the dance and then this started to day in the story the. This started to dog. So that you know to be all that up to process and then i found that all that is dons movement headed it has a 40 year us history and i was kind of wow i am on the right track. I guess i thinking today and to have them renting a room and found her skirt design that i was going to say a sketch and then see if you can make a pattern to fit her do you want to start the story of how you. When we 1st met to leave and it was a metal attach where used to go to church. And from there into these to me too. And i told him that i wanted to employ women to make things that i saw me us and he said well why dont you come over here and start something because i started Training Program years ago but it died because there was no market i felt like i could be the connection to the market and design things that i knew with cell United States will just have a simple waistband just like this so this is true because this is a yes the 1st time i went to kenya and was when i was 16 i was in high school i grew up in little rock arkansas but my parents are very passionate about caring for so we moved them to an orphanage and i went to high school there and then at 19 i went to rwanda and i saw hope village and its a child or an orphanage i was 19 and there were other girls who were my age and i wanted them to be able to go to university. I went back to college and made wire crosses from my dorm room and sold them and then a few months i made enough money to send those 2. 00 girls to school so that was the trip that sparked my interest in using my creativity to create change. Doesnt come. With. I started with judith and we made a block. That turned out terribly and they had no idea what a laptop was or what sizes supposed to be but i assumed that they knew what a laptop was. And then we made a start and this girl was beautiful i posted the pictures on facebook and people loved it and so the feedback from the u. S. Market through facebook album is what really made me think ok this could work. Female genital mutilation is a reality for more than a 1000000 women today and despite efforts to stop the practice its still prevalent in many countries as you were in march the International Day of 0 tolerance for female genital mutilation. One womans fight radical at the practice at her home in senegal and around the world female genital cutting goes back 2200 years it is a practice that we believe was started in egypt by the pharaohs it was a practice that was used to control chastity and fidelity of women. Through marriage and the trick i think is only come when you say they go more slowly in the population they do it by a tradition sometimes just this kid is you moved. From time to cut to the guns of the tourists and sometimes everything is the will of the theater is and the. Have you moved and soon to get in. I think dancing temple is going to be depressed you know what. Is at one time sometimes but they said. They dont want to just. Vote what was that it. Was old bridge a souvenir. More came a chant that if they. Cant dont defile it a symbol and in this in anything he has said analysis he sits back on and on. Then ive done that you can do so. What and 50 feet. It became a social norm there were expectations for women to undergo this practice if they were going to be respected in the community if they were to be considered worthy of good marriage. The women became very involved in this too they wanted their daughters to have good husbands. New guinea. And. I know many of them. One hand woman that i thought i mean those who. Knew our name. So we are going to look unto poor we will be visiting her shoes shelter home and to Trafficking Organization and we dance with ben Therapy Program over there. Today actually we are working with this group as they say this is a mixed group like there is side like this of sex trafficking has a less other side of a bit of safety. But could be a more severe we are going to carry on. Talking about themselves the adults for this. Company. In 6 trafficking minor guns are being taken from their homes young women are being forced to come out and being put into brothels which are really absolute hell holes to be in and then theyre being forced to attend to these questionnaires to come sometime 10 to 1520 in a day. Or go. About it or theyre going to. Money that the money is 6 g. We. See their kids see where they can buy the logic. On the throw. Back. Theyre going to get they thought. If they get on the need to find out when they dont need to have it all to get to tell you that he should be here. Wired with the bodies so important because when they exploitation when the violence and abuse anything its have been its a tremendous physical trauma. We do not have that much ive been living to work on the physical trauma. First thing 1st thing these are so i mean. Nothing. I have 2 Companies One is an l. L. C. And one is a 501 c 3 nonprofit so the nonprofit is a Training Program for women the psalms its basically a sewing school and were hoping to add more skills and more trainings rather than just sewing and then the for profit do you think james employs women who have been trained who are skilled to make product clothing and bags dorie pattern that is you make the partner having the primary. Training he could no more he or some of the. Training now. I do as a summit but i turned. To food so this is another black. Community we started with this called get 2 of us on and its a wasteland. And these women dont have many opportunities for work in this area. One of them for example was selling chicken feet one of them was selling tomatoes one of them was washing peoples clothes they just try to find small jobs theres 9. 10000000 can be quite a confidence building 1st of all its just really not just when you see that something but you created from 0 has become something beautiful and some would kind wary you could create a community you can have a tailor in place be a place that people learn the trade how to make things pretty how to be able to get them how to market them they can not on the whole find none to something that they have produced by themselves so there are many ways in which tailoring can become an empowering thing for women.

My. Knee. In certain communities where sister has gone on to talk about female genital cutting to sing about it to work with the children she has had some question i was in genia it was in 2013 i was in you know force in an area with the artist in an artist from guinea i came back it was in a valley and then we went to put up. The number of below that have been dug into them i was. The 1st look at it it was it in mumbai i had that a companion of the police. But the committees was was the mood and there was a lot of things going on the place was really happy in the community and then the police say maybe its not important for them to to where everythings going well and it was at their 3rd look at the tea at a low that the colleagues sent people to i got asked in the classroom because they did not want the project to go on. Yeah they are like me im still there carrying my scar in my hand because i was bleeding they told me the police say they dont want your project because here we want the girl to be cut here. And to be like good. Does that then community oh next season is awful but fosters it in a little more and thats when the last thing is youre missing month as there was i think in the prophet mohammad 11 different levitt is our family decided common it should have the prophet mohammed slowly was in them and they had 7 forgoes and no one was cut the wife of the prophet was not kept for me this is one of the strongest argument to let women believe that if you look at this and mean that you have dirty you cannot pray you live in the christian contrary that most people will read the bible and there is this history about eve and people used to say that out of the bad things that we have in the rooms its about women this is their. Version i have full. And now you sell lots of these symbols of the f. O. Some of this scene of eve. Give me your entire car i have ever have thought about they leave uni on. A woman with the book its about freedom her name its the big day its about a woman thats so free so free we cannot imagine this woman. With a place that the good good her there is brutes. Lot often had chills so fair logs for to day we had this freedom that we have. I was 3 days locked at that home if not sights of the phone. When he forgot the cell phone that home i call it my mother and she came to pick up in the. Event of the Police Station but at that time been no have a law against the Mass Violence in nothing happens in never went on dick or nothing happened. We didnt have any specific law that protect women file inspiration most of the perpetrators of violence were not judged for not come to. And i saw the it was really parsons or because of whats happened with me you might have been received out of the room because now women will have the tools to defend themselves and this is why decides to. Contribute to if my contouring promoting the law and helping out the women and the 2 that i had to do it was going to feed. Through it all so dont you hedge and
