In this week's episode of The Worst Girl Gang Ever, we're taking a different approach. We recently had the opportunity to speak at a Midwifery Conference where we met the inspiring Hibo Wardere. Hibo, a Somali-born advocate against female genital mutilation (FGM), is an author and public speaker. After fleeing the Somali Civil War as a teenager in 1989, she moved to London as a refugee. Her impactful testimonies and advocacy have established her as one of the leading voices against FGM in Britain, with her work featured in numerous publications.
