About this listen
On the wedding night of her first arranged marriage, 15-year-old Jaha learned that she had undergone Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) as an infant. That painful discovery, coupled with her experiences with a second arranged marriage, set Jaha on her path as an activist – a courageous mission that would require her to brave hostility in her community and family, and even attempts on her life.
Despite the challenges, and with ever-growing determination, Jaha founded Safe Hands for Girls, an organisation that succeeded in having FGM banned in Gambia. She is now working to eradicate FGM and forced child marriage worldwide by 2030, as well as running to be the next President of the Republic of The Gambia.
I Will Scream to the World recounts Jaha's ongoing, uphill journey to be seen as a survivor, activist, but most of all as a human. She dives into her childhood to show the root causes of her crusading, shares her personal and professional life, and explores, as only a survivor can, a practice that while violent and troubling, is often culturally misunderstood.
