Waris Dirie's story continues in Desert Children, a powerful exploration of female genital mutilation (FGM) and its impact on women and girls across Europe. In this book, Waris Dirie and journalist Corinna Milborn investigate the practice of FGM in Europe, revealing that up to 500,000 women and girls have undergone or are at risk of the procedure. The authors speak with women who have been affected by FGM, sharing their stories for the first time.
