Kadijatu Balaima Allieu
Kadijatu Balaima Allieu is a Sierra Leonean woman and human rights advocate who has become a symbol of the fight against female genital mutilation (FGM) after surviving a brutal forced procedure in 2016. After her traumatic experience, she filed a case with the Economic Community of West African States (Ecowas) court, which ruled that FGM is tantamount to torture and ordered the Sierra Leonean government to criminalize the practice. Allieu’s journey from victim to activist highlights the urgent need for legal reforms to protect women and girls from such human rights violations.
