Somali girl on a UK national TV dating show brings up FGM (big sigh😔)

[gasara]

Whenever I hear about FGM stories it’s from the UK. How common is it for the Canadian and American diaspora to do FGM?

What is she hoping to get from crying to whites? Going around and talking to cadaan won't stop this issue. Go on the fob side of the internet and preach in Somali so the target population gets aware

They think the white man is their savior whole time he just wanna crack

She made a whole career talking about FGM in the UK

Even has a Wikipedia dedicated to her

Shamsa Araweelo - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

She has the whole shebang FGM, graped, cousin marriage, forced marriage, abuse. She screams grifter. She's smart for not mentioning any place otherwise she would've been exposed differently

thats really awful sxb shes allowed to talk about her experiences without being insulted, like okay have tact and be mindful when talking about our issues around ajanabis.

The somali and south asian community are close and interact with each other more. Also the south asian community is the highest non white migrant group in the uk. Can’t blame somalis to adopt some mannerism and ideas from them.

Ask any UK Somali here i bet they have more desi friends then black friends on average

Yeah Im from reer Scandinavia and can conform its associated with us, I remember my high school teacher multiple times explained the practices of FGM infort of my class and looked straight at me before saying its really common in the Horn of Africa i.e. Somalia. He wasn't bad teacher or racist but actually the opposite and he would always give me the highest grades however he would always mention FGM and the complications some women got from it etc and at that time I was just clueless and didn't know anything. It really shameful to hear that our people practices such things and even more disheartening to hear the stories. I believe it's something that our older generation practices and is now gradually decrease.

We cannot know for certain what she been through and from what ive read she had really tough upbringing definitely not what a normal somali would had. However we do know that some of these things happen and its sad and should be highlighted however her ways of doing that can be better instead of trauma dumping on some reality show.

Somali girls defend Somali men online against hate only for the men to insult somali girls in the most disgusting ways in the comments of that post.
