00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:33.610


00:00:33.610 --> 00:00:37.118
-My name is Maria.

00:00:37.118 --> 00:00:40.750
I'm so happy.

00:00:40.750 --> 00:00:47.765
I love to play outdoors, and
I love singing and dancing.

00:00:47.765 --> 00:00:54.044


00:00:54.044 --> 00:00:56.032
And listening to music.

00:00:56.032 --> 00:01:00.505


00:01:00.505 --> 00:01:02.493
I love my life.

00:01:02.493 --> 00:01:04.978
I think I'm perfect
the way I am.

00:01:04.978 --> 00:01:32.810


00:01:32.810 --> 00:01:35.290
-A girl is perfect.

00:01:35.290 --> 00:01:37.410
Why cut her?

00:01:37.410 --> 00:01:42.260
Female genital mutilation,
FGM, is the cutting and removal

00:01:42.260 --> 00:01:44.710
of parts of the
female genitalia.

00:01:44.710 --> 00:01:48.580
It affects more than 125
million women and girls

00:01:48.580 --> 00:01:49.580
from 29 countries.

00:01:49.580 --> 00:02:15.800


00:02:15.800 --> 00:02:19.180
Together, we can end FGM.

00:02:19.180 --> 00:02:48.067
