Formerly FGM Traditional Practitioner, Kibirty now stands as a symbol of change in her community. Learning the practice from generations past, she witnessed firsthand the agony endured by circumcised girls, vowing to renounce FGM once and for all! Today, she proudly declares her abandonment of FGM, recognizing its detrimental effects on girls' lives. No longer will daughters suffer the pain of urination, marriage, childbirth, or hospital visits.

“I have solemnly vowed to forever abandon the practice. This harmful practice promotes suffering and pain, constituting a serious offense against women. We firmly believe in our government's commitment to abolishing FGM entirely, a stance we wholeheartedly support. While mistakes were made in the past, there is now no justification for continuing this deadly tradition. We, as a community, once bore responsibility for the harm inflicted upon our daughters, but now we unanimously denounce and reject this practice.”
