She was a victim of FGM herself.
A few weeks ago, Katoucha was promoting her book “In My Flesh”, in which she was telling about how her own female circumcision happened. She has been an anti female genital mutilation activist, fighting against this ancestral practice and has even founded her own association “ Katoucha against FGM” to help achive her goal.
It's a shame but when I read about this, I couldn't shake the feeling that she had been PUSHED by the he-man woman hater's club. Just saying.
