Meet Maryam, an empowered young woman from Somalia

As we conclude this year's 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence campaign, we met with Maryam, a young woman from Somalia who was forced to flee due to female genital mutilation (FGM), a common practice in her homeland.

Now a recognised refugee living in Nicosia, Cyprus, Maryam is determined to empower other girls and women to stop this practice, and to support women to stand for themselves.
