    I met Leyla Hussein, an FGM survivor and anti-FGM activist, and we hit it off straight away. […] I worried that I didn’t have a right to talk about FGM as I don’t come from an FGM-practising community, but Leyla believes you can talk about whatever you like, regardless of whether you’ve been directly affected.
