In this podcast, Assita talks about her visit to Paris to meet with Dr. Foldès to learn about the consequences of the Female Genital Mutilation she underwent as a child and whether reconstructive surgery is possible for her. She talks about her doubts, her fears and her anger, the incredible work of the doctor, her anger at what is being done to so many women and girls around the world, the dangers and humiliations that these women face and her fierce commitment as an elected European official to help stop this violence.
