(CityNews) It’s often a sensitive and stigmatizing reality, but a new report shines a light on the realities of female genital mutilation here in Canada.
“It was a moment of shock when we ended up at the hospital. And I started hearing kids crying,” explained Saran Bah, who was only 5-years-old when she experienced female genital mutilation in her home country Guinea.
“We were told we were going to get photos and then get ice cream and those are the things we liked so we hopped in the car and we went.”
Bah, who currently lives in Canada, recalls the trauma she had to endure after realizing she was lied to. Being forced into doing something she did not want.
