A crash course in changing the world.
For me the genital mutilation of girls and women is one of the crime that must be prevented on the African continent. Already in school I was affected by this topic. I informed myself about it and was shocked by the brutal behaviour and the 'medical conditions' of this ritual.
8,000 girls per day are robbed of their genitalia and their dignity. That is one every eleven seconds. 150 million women worldwide are affected.
A man who fights for the rights of this mutilated woman is Rüdiger Nehberg. I chose him to get inspiration.
He founded the non-profit organisaton TARGET for direct actions for human rights in 2000. One project he supports is the Mobile Hospital in Ethiopia. It is a gift to the people of Afar because they were the first to declare female genital mutilation as a sin and embedded this in the rule of law. Such a vehicle is important for them because around them is mostly dessert and the Afar have no fixed abdoes, most of them live as nomads.
Rüdiger Nehberg has his own website. If you are interested look here.
