Survivor of Female Genital Mutilation Empowers Others
Valerie Lomari, who grew up in Nigeria, suffered female genital mutilation (FGM) at the age of 16, orchestrated by her grandmother.
Now, at 52, she resides in the UK and is determined to combat FGM. Despite enduring physical and emotional scars, Valerie refuses to let her past define her.
She supports FGM survivors and educates communities about the dangers of the practice. Valerie’s advocacy has reached international platforms, including a speech at the United Nations.
Her journey from pain to empowerment serves as an inspiration in the fight against FGM.
