text: Irene Cheptoek (right) explains in detail about the day she was mutilated when she was fifteen years old. She shares her experience with Kokopcheptoek Florence, (left) who was also cut as a young girl and later on in life became a cutter herself. Florence knew it was wrong to do it but at the time, it was her only income. Now she is an active fighter against female genital mutilation and Irene explains that everyone has been forgiven regardless of their past.
