TED TALKS: KHADIJA GBLA: My mother’s strange definition of empowerment

In that video, Khadija Gbla, a Sierra Leona's woman, explains the meaning about FGM and her personal experience about that.
FGM is the mutilation of womans; a commoun think that some Africans do.
Khadija was mutilated for a old woman when she was a child and then she went to leave at the United States. In there and when she was a teenager, she remember the moment of her mutilation and she demands the reason to her mummy but they opinions are very diferent.
Now, she is part of an association that intents to stop that. And she demands the colaboration of everybody.

THREE QUOTES:

"Over my dead body will you do that to my doughters"
"FGM is child abuse, is violence against women"
"all it takes for evil to prevail is for a few good man and woman to do nothing"

The firts of that three quotes is about a parallel story that Khadija Gbla explains. She said that a indian woman has two doughters and she said that quote to her husband when he explains to her the wish of mutilate they doughters.

The other two sentences are quotes that Khadija said in her monologue and I think that this practice on a little child is an horrour.

NEW WORDS:

-Empowerment = enfortiment
-Anger = indignació
-Harming = fer mal
-Dirty = brut, "obsceno"
-Bullshit = tonteries, invencions (s'utilitza com a paraulota també)
