The Day Kadi Lost Part of Her Life is the moving photostory of a four-year-old girl named Kadi who is subjected to female genital mutilation (FGM) in accordance with the traditions of her community. Kadi's story is typical of every little girl who lives in a community where to be loved, married and held in high esteem requires you to be genitally mutilated. —Dr Olayinka Koso-Thomas, from the Prologue. Article 5: No one shall be subjected to torture or to cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment. — Universal Declaration of Human Rights, 1948 Royalties go to FORWARD (the Foundation for Women’s Health, Research and Development) who work internationally for the elimination of FGM worldwide. Our intention in publishing this book is to bring a wider awareness of FGM and encourage readers to speak out against it.
