“I have the passion to see the end to Female Genital Mutilation,” says Asha Haji Elmi (pictured right), a Somali politician and peace activist, and the wife of the Somali Prime Minister. “This issue has always been on my agenda. Because I went through it, I do not want other young girls to suffer the pain I went through.”
