My Name is Domtila Chesang a frontline grassroots activist working to end FGM in my community. I am a trained secondary school teacher who chose to set aside her career to champion a more demanding course- Ending FGM /Child Mariages and creating safe spaces for women and girls to thrive. I founded I Am Responsible Foundation, i locally based organization that rallies behind the eradication of harmful traditional practices. Over 6000 girls have been indirectly impacted by my work and over 500 have directly been rescued from FGM and given access to education.
