Mariya Taher's Portfolio

For years I’ve worked to uplift the voices of survivors of gender violence. Yet, sometimes, in sharing survivor stories publicly, there can be backlash in the form of trying to dismiss or tear down a person’s experience. I share this story in hopes that it will lead to more advocacy initiatives that will prevent female genital cutting from happening to future generations of girls.
