Additional quotes by Jaha Dukureh

I remember feeling silenced and alone,the pain was almost too much to bear.

These issues are personal to me, they’re part of my life history. We won’t have equality until girls can grow up with control over their own bodies and futures.

They’re denying a lot of the pain that women and girls are going through, and just calling it Western influence.
